Park Slopers have noted a number of street re-pavings in the last week, some of which, according to neighborhood observers, didn’t quite seem in need of a new coat of tar. So how to figure out what’s going on? One way is to check out the city’s resurfacing schedule. If you want more detail on what your neighbors have been complaining about, see Everyblock.com’s new street conditions site. On the Park Slope page, for instance, it shows a failed street repair on Park Place: “Utility cut no longer level with the surrounding street surface. Utility cuts are usually square or rectangular in shape.” It’s like virtual neighborhood watch, for macadam.
I thought the crime stats part was interesting – did you catch that Rob?
Not to mention the fact that Congress Street will be milled later this week! The means the grinding begins at 7am – it’s a joy!
im happy to live in a neighborhood where the biggest neighborhood watch concern are a couple of potholes. i guess that means i can now parade around the neighborhood in a blindfold listening to my fauxpod with my wallet and cash dangingling out of my booty crack without worry. YAY PARK SLOPE!

Just way too much info on the internet. Pothole cam? What’s next, the brownstoner office cam? For most of us there just aren’t enough hours in the day what with work, chores, blogging and trying to organize the covert marauding of gentrifiers in the various neighborhoods.
