The pavement on Southeast Third Avenue between Main and Madison streets was one of the worst in that section of Albany, and the subject of occasional complaints.
This week the Albany city street crew did something to help: The eastbound driving lane on the block got a two- or three-inch patch of smooth asphalt on Thursday. Presumably the westbound driving lane in the block is getting the same treatment today.
As I’ve reported before, the street crew has been using the city’s new paver to make some of the worst sections of streets drivable even though full-scale repairs are put off until the city can figure out how to pay for them…
