Newark Public Works Department

I live in Newark and in the past I’ve noticed potholes on the street would get patched up within a few days. I’ve lived all over and I was always surprised at the speed that the Newark potholes were fixed so quickly. I never knew who to thank until I had my own issue.
Only recently did I learn that if the sidewalk is raised or falling apart, I’m supposed to contact the city to fix it up. Well I contacted the Newark Public Works Department on Oct 14^th through email and included a picture of my raised sidewalk. By Oct 15^th, it was marked for repair. And by Oct 29^th, the section of sidewalk that I had a problem with was repaired along with 4 other sections! And as a bonus, they didn’t use that ugly asphalt to repair, they grounded down the concrete so the surface was smooth. They did such a good job. And they did it just in time for Halloween so Trick-​or-​Treaters won’t have to trip. Thank you, Newark Public Works Department!
I’m proud of my city and the Newark Public Works Department!
