GREENSBORO, N.C. — It’s a road Ricquita Tarpley-Carter takes almost every day. In fact, she can’t leave her house without driving on the road, “It’s in pretty good shape for the most part,” said Tarpley-Carter
There was however a trouble spot about 200 feet up the road from her house. A manhole, specifically the cover, would often come loose and rattle when cars would drive over it, “When people drive over it makes a noise and bounces a bit,” said Anya Zainabus. Neighbors living in the area were very aware of the manhole and most would just drive around it, “It flip over all the time, so I stopped driving over it,” said Bobby Waldorf.
