This week we asked readers to pick out where some of the borough’s most harrowing potholes can be found following a dismal winter.
Personally, I think the worst potholes are in the Boston Road area in the South Bronx. It’s pretty bad especially in the winter time. The potholes can be treacherous. It’s gotten better, but still some areas are still really, really bad. I think most of it comes from all of the construction going on. It’s gotten a lot better, but there can still be some improvement.

There are a lot of holes along the Major Deegan Expressway from Van Cortlandt Park all the way upstate in Westchester. They haven’t been fixing them. Many of the local streets are bad; the balance of my tires is off from hitting all the big potholes. I think it’s been a harsh winter, but they’re also not fixing them fast enough.

Bedford Park by Lehman College is pretty bad. It’s been a harsh winter, but I don’t see them out here making the repairs.

Bedford Park
I know I go down Goulden Avenue every day and that street is pretty bad. Fordham Road, Kingsbridge Road, they’re all in bad shape. I have to avoid potholes and cars have to avoid potholes and it makes for a dangerous situation. Sometimes cars just decide to go to the other side of the street to avoid the pothole, so they play chicken with me. If people could report the biggest potholes, maybe we can get them repaired.

Mosholu at Jerome Avenue and all the way down. It’s bad there every year. Every winter it’s the same. Van Cortlandt and Bainbridge Avenue, that corner, is always a problem every year. I guess they need better materials to fill the holes. I guess whatever they use is a cheap material and they need to find a better solution. I haven’t seen any road crews making repairs, it’s very rare.
