Pot Holes

The weather kept the City of St. Cloud from using the more permanent hot mix of pothole fill until recently. St. Cloud Mayor joined me on WJON. He says the weather has warmed up enough where the city can better take care of the pothole problem with what he calls a more permanent mix which is less likely to pop out.

Pot holes all across Minnesota are especially a problem this spring. St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis joined me on WJON for a Radio Town Hall. He indicates because of high demand throughout the state for the winter mix for pot hole filling the city is paying more and driving further to obtain this mix.

The City of St. Cloud has been working on filling pot holes this week. That according to St. Cloud Public Services Director Tracy Hodel. She says they've been using a combination of cold mix and heated up mix to fill these pot holes the best they can. Hodel acknowledges these patches aren't likely to hold for long due to the freeze, thaw cycle, we're in.
