Potholes at the Entrance of the Garage

20 December 2023ParkingQuality of Life
Severity:
Important - greatly affects quality of life
Status:
Resolved - the problem was solved
Problem Description:

Significant potholes have developed at the entrance of the garage. This is a situation that has occurred in previous years.

Asphalt work was carried out by the administration, reducing the depth of the potholes, but there is still a depression at that location.

Problem impact:

Drivers must enter and exit cautiously to avoid issues such as a flat tire.

It will be difficult to notice the depressions in the evening or if there is a bit of snow.

Risks:

There is a risk that the asphalt will degrade again, given the type of repair and temperature conditions.

We suggest establishing a daily checking routine for the condition of the entrance, especially since it is the only one currently in operation.

Perhaps a warning sign (e.g., similar to speed bumps) should be installed to remind entering and exiting drivers to pass slowly over the holes.

For the long term, it is necessary to understand why these holes reappear every year and find an approach to prevent them. For example, should the asphalt be deeply re-done in that area? Is there a lack of drainage causing erosion?

The Collective

Affected by the deterioration of the Rockhill Apartments in Montreal, some tenants began meeting in July 2023 to consider ways to address the situation.

From these meetings emerged the Rockhill Tenants Collective, a spontaneous group dedicated to upholding the rights of residents and the heritage value of this once upscale and avant-garde complex.
