Belt Parkway drives pothole lawsuits, Stringer says
More than 700 claims filed against city over car damage
What are the most pothole-plagued highways in Brooklyn? Judging from the number of lawsuits filed against the city by drivers whose cars have been damaged by potholes, the answer would have to the Belt Parkway.
City Comptroller Scott Stringer announced on Thursday that the Belt Parkway has generated 706 claims in the comptroller’s office during a six year period, making it one of the worst roadways in the city.
Stringer labeled the Belt one of the three worst roadways for potholes in the entire city. The other two are the Grand Central Parkway, which has generated 433 claims, and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, which has 422 claims.
