The
tackled a neighborhood’s months-long quest to get a giant sinkhole repaired.
Boudinot Street is a narrow one-way street in Philadelphia’s Feltonville neighborhood. Back in June, a sinkhole opened up, making it impossible for cars to get through, causing frustration and anxiety among homeowners.
“It’s a sore eye for me. It’s disgusting to me. I don’t even like being out here no more,” said Doris Walker.
Walker is talking about a giant sinkhole in the middle of her street.
“It’s just a mess,” she says.
“We’ve had the sinkhole now for at least six months now,” said Robert Edelmann.
In January, residents told the Troubleshooters they had major safety concerns.
“Very concerned, especially for kids because they’re jumping up and down in this and making it worse. And you can see the hole’s getting bigger,” said Edelmann.
Delivery trucks and emergency vehicles also couldn’t get through.
“I feel very frustrated about the situation because they seem like they not doing well. They really not doing anything about it. We’re not important,” said Walker.
