Sorry to go against the grain here, but good for Mr. Bacon. It takes a lot to stand up, especially in public like like this. This is what it sometimes takes to get results. The ol' the squeaky wheel gets the grease scenario.
It's a shame to hear the skim coating that was applied is now probably worse than before, but I'm guessing that was said it would be, as people watched the work being done.
In CT road repair never ends. Our highways as well as side roads disintegrate shortly after they are applied. When winter hits we don't get the heaves so much, the blacktop and/or concrete sections open up with brutal pot holes that will swallow a wheel if your not paying attention.
To properly fix the roads, imo, they need to grind the old surface, build up the base, and lay fresh black top. Everybody wants it done right, but no one wants the inconvenience that goes along with it. Oh wait-that's me.
