WOODMONT AVENUE POTHOLE FILLED (PHOTO)

A pothole on Woodmont Avenue that had jolted Bethesda drivers in recent days has been vanquished.  Only an hour after I reported it to Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center Director Ken Hartman, a Montgomery County Department of Transportation crew was on scene.

In short order, the hole was filled.  This is the second time in two years I have reported a pothole to Ken, and it has been immediately been addressed.  It's the little things that count, and that's how the BCCRSC staff and Bethesda Urban Partnership keep downtown Bethesda in such good shape.

Be prepared for potholes and water main breaks in the days ahead, as we continue to experience the kind of temperature swings that cause those two problems.
