Construction worker Bryan Kopinski and his crew recently closed
two blocks on Forest Avenue to repair a large pothole on Forest Avenue and Dart
Street. Kopinski, an employee of E.J. Militello Concrete, says he has repaired
numerous streets on the West Side since the beginning of the season, and he is
happy about the city’s attention to road damage. “Buffalo fell behind on it for
decades but now they are pumping a lot of money into the streets with paving
and fixing the potholes, I think in a few years Buffalo’s streets will be a lot
better,” Kopinski said. In addition to the city’s commitment to repair road
damage, Mayor Byron Brown issued a 48-hour
pothole repair guarantee with allows Buffalo residents to call and report
any pothole, and one of seven repair crews will fix the damaged street. By Gregory Garrett and Osman Shire
