When it comes to the worst roads in Delaware County in terms of potholes and the general condition of the road, there are no shortage of candidates.
I have one of my own.
Every morning (don't ask when, it's an ungodly hour) I take Providence Road to cut across from West Chester Pike in Edgmont over the Rose Tree Park where it hooks up with Route 252, where I can jump on the Media Bypass.
It's pretty lonely at that hour.
Just me.
And the deer.
And the potholes.
And the ruts.
It's a mess. It happens every spring. Once winter thaws the road just goes to hell. I'm surprised I haven't been pulled over for DUI since I spend most of the commute zigging and zagging across both lanes in a usually fruitless attempt to miss the worst potholes.
Apparently I am not alone in my disdain for the road.
But I love the way one clearly frustrated driver decided to express his or her opinion.
As you head up the hill from the Canter Drive, clearly spray-painted in white paint on the road is this message:
PAVE THE ROAD.
It looks like the artist may have struck a nerve.
It appears some patching of the road has taken place.
It still has a long way to go.
Yes, that's me officer, swerving all over the road.
No, I have not had anything to drink.
But this road is enough to 'drive' you to the bottle.
