MEDINA – Park Avenue in Medina has been infested with large potholes. The Medina Department of Public Works used cold patch recently but that didn’t stick.

DPW superintendent Jason Watts said the street needs to be repaved. He asked for the public’s patience in the meantime.

He will soon be meeting with Keeler Construction, which does the paving in the village, to work out a schedule for the work.

Watts acknowledged the street is very bumpy in spots.

“Anything we do now is just a waste of money,” he said about the cold patch and other attempts at short-term fixes. “I do have a plan. Just go slow and be patient with me.”

The street’s condition was brought up during Monday’s Village Board meeting.

He said the DPW could put millings in some of the deeper potholes. He also will see about putting up signs that note Park Avenue is a “rough road” and drivers should go slow.

Watts said the punishing winter was hard on the pavement in Western New York.

“We’re not the only community with rough roads,” he said.

There are many potholes and deteriorating pavement on Park Avenue in Medina.
