This is a County road. The Borough of North Haledon does not have the authority to do any work on this street. You must contact the Passaic County Dept. of Public Works at jackn@passaiccountynj.org

know this is a county road as the address I gave 992 Belmont is my house. I have called the county several times and unless it is a pot hole about to take off a wheel of a car they do not want to help. I asked the Mayor and Council at the 10/22 meeting for assistance in helping to get the county to do something. I will try your email suggestion.

The County Administrator, Anthony De Nova, who lives in North Haledon, is sending Jack Nigro, the Acting Road Supervisor of Passaic County Road, to investigate your complaint re: Belmont Avenue.

Anthony De Nova has advised me that divot in front of your home was repaired by Passaic County road crew on Thursday, Dec. 2.

Cheap repair that is sure to come up the first time it snows and the plows hit it. I offered in an email to Jack Nigro to meet him in front of my house to have him listen and see all the trucks hitting and bouncing on the bumps. Unfortunately that never took place and instead the road crew threw some asphalt down and the passing traffic acted as the compactor. When I got home from work I took my back pack and blew all the loose asphalt to the side of the road so it would not kick up and end up all over my lawn. I guess I will have to keep calling every time the area opens up - maybe after a 100 calls they will get sick of hearing from me and maybe do a decent repair to the road. I guess my tax dollars don't go far and we can only afford loose asphalt with no compaction. Gotta love Passaic County.

Snow and plows as I mentioned in my earlier report were going to be the downfall of the so called 'patch'. 3 snowstorms later and countless plowing by the County has taken a large chunk of this patch and the road is almost back to the pre-patch condition. It will never be corrected unless the section of road is cut away and patched with a proper repair technique instead of just shoveling in loose asphalt and driving away allowing passing vehicles to compact the fill. The proper technique would be to use a Ray-Tech infrared heater - the rays from the infrared have the ability to penetrate an object. It is this property that allows deep penetrating asphalt repair and reclaiming without causing damage to the material being reclaimed or to the road which is being heated. This allows for a high quality pothole repair, asphalt patch, or general asphalt work. But that proper technique costs money and whose going to pay for that?

Still terrible. When is the county going to due a decent patch?
