The City’s Casie Yoder writes in with an update on the sinkhole that appeared at Northern Avenue and West Ponce back on December 29th.
UPDATE: The city has hired Gorman Construction to fix the sinkhole, and work will begin Tues., Jan. 6 at Noon. It should be finished by Fri., Jan. 9. Questions/concerns about this project should be addressed to John Madajewski, Design, Environment & Construction Division, .——————————-A large sinkhole has developed on Northern Ave. in the southbound lane at the intersection with W Ponce de Leon Ave. It is barricaded and the street is mostly blocked. Drivers cannot exit Northern Ave. onto W Ponce and should use an alternate route such as Montgomery to Fairview. Please avoid this intersection until further notice.

Is there a photo of the sinkhole? I don’t see it in this picture, taken back when there were still green leaves on the trees.
