     From mid-February and through the end of March, Village crews were out daily (weather permitting) filling in the potholes left after a particularly snowy winter season.

     This time of year, the highway department superintendent drives around the Village a few hours each day looking at road conditions and putting various locations on a list for pothole repairs. The list also comes from reports phoned in to Village Hall and to the Department of Public Works.

     This list is for the temporary repair of potholes only and has no connection to the engineering evaluations which determine the Village’s ongoing roadway repaving program. The presence of potholes does not mean that a street needs reconstruction.

     Once a crew visits a street, they look over the whole block and fill in everything they find. Large, deep holes are targeted when they’re seen or reported, but the crews look for and fill in the small ones, too, before they grow into large ones.

     The Rockville Centre Department of Public Works can only work on Village streets. It is prohibited from making repairs to any county road or state highway, the larger roads in town. Nor does the Village repair National Grid road openings, which are the responsibility of the utility.
