Contractors that I have seen working on sidewalks and roads in Philly are clueless. Not getting compaction before they do work and also poor back fill material. The pot holes in Philly are worse than the side walks. Hold the contractors and developers respondsible for shitty work!

Example: When cutting a trench for an apartment tie in (The Royal) on Ridge ave and Livezey st they just cut the trench straight down did their work and did not back fill the hole correctly, shitty back fill material and no compaction. Instead of grinding away the asphalt on the edge of the trench so that there was a overlap between the existing asphalt and new asphalt they just said fuck it and filled in the clean cut trench, easy for water to get in and create a massive pothole. Which has happened.

How are these contractors still in business? Lol who knows maybe the city is doing the tie ins and back fill work and turning the road into a Mario Kart course.

You want to see good roads and sidewalks? Go to Calgary, AB those contractors and the city do it right and with less money
