I was on many main roads during the snow yesterday: Clifton, 88/Brownsville around S. Park, Curry Hollow, Rt. 51, Rt. 88, & McNeilly. Took 2 1/2 hours. The 1st road I could actually SEE was W. Liberty - great job Dormont :)   more ›

Patch Poll: How Are the Roads in Brookline?

It's no secret that there's a pothole or two—or 20—dotting Brookline Boulevard and other streets in the neighborhood. But it's really starting to be a problem, and residents want something to be done about it, according to a WPXI report. Residents complained about the number of potholes in the roads, the damage they can cause to cars and the danger they pose, both to drivers and to those walking. For WPXI's full report, click here. Take our poll below or tell us in the comments. What do you think of the roads in Brookline? How about Dormont? Which roads are the absolute worst?
