The Editor,
Re. "Those darn potholes — and what Tri-Cities are doing about them" (The Tri-City News, Feb. 20).
No sooner had I read the article on potholes in the Tri-Cities than I crossed the street (Falcon Drive in Coquitlam, which has no crosswalks except for the intersection with Runnel Drive) and tripped on one of the many potholes in that block.
I fell so fast that I stopped myself with my face, resulting in a trip to the emergency room, a broken nose and broken teeth.
I’ve submitted a claim with the city, hoping the street damage is repaired quickly before someone else gets hurt.
