Pothole Project Summer Dates!

It’s that time… we are moving forward on the Pothole Project!

Summertime dates are:

  • June 8th, 8AM, Meeting at Sandbergs
  • July 13th, 8AM, Meeting at Sandbergs
  • July 20th, 8AM, Meeting at Sandbergs
  • August 18th, 8AM, Meeting at Sandbergs

PROJECT INFORMATION:
We will be filling potholes on the historic Old Ridge Route. Focusing on small to medium sized potholes that affect the original concrete road surface. In many places, the unsupported road surface is crumbing and eroding faster. This project aims to prevent that.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
The Old Ridge Route is in a remote location, there are no restrooms up there. We will be working in a sunny area, finishing the work by 11AM to beat the heat. Please bring water, any snacks you may want, work gloves (cold patch can be quite messy!), work clothes that are ok to get dirty, a hat and close toed shoes. Work boots or hiking boots preferred.

Tools are optional (we bring extra) but if you’d like to bring your own, a shovel, rake, broom, or tamper are helpful! Keep in mind, we are working with cold patch and it does leave residue.

MATERIAL DONATION:
We would so much appreciate any material donated! This is what we are using: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Quikrete-50-lb-Commercial-Grade-Blacktop-Repair-Patch-170152/100545936#overlay

Supporting Member – 1 bag
Silver Member – 3 bags
Gold Member – 4 bags

  1. Hi,
    Due to distance I don’t think I can physically be present for the repairs, but I would like to contribute material. If you could provide me with the how, I’d like to purchase six bags of Quikrete at your local Home Depot for pick up. Thank you…
