Triple The Threat For Those Injured On Queens Blvd.

 Water resting in small cracks in asphalt highways, continually forms into small wedges during freezing weather and expand the cracks into small holes.
 When weather warms, melted ice flows into the crevices of widened asphalt.
 Freezing weather causes ice wedges to enlarge cracks in roadway until a pothole appears.
Compounding the problem, says Commissioner Cannisi, is that a few more days of rain and freezing weather will widen these cracks even more, even though spring is just around the corner.
Although the current war on potholes is winding down, Commissioner Cannisi urged queens residents to report potholes in their neighborhoods by dialing (718) CALL DOT.
Key to the call, he said, is reporting the exact location of the pothole:
 If its in the middle of an intersection, know the names of the two cross streets.
If the pothole is in the middle of a block, know the street name and the street names at each corner. If possible, give the address of a home in front of the pothole.
