The hole -- which is so deep the bottom isn’t visible -- sits in front of St. Michael’s Church and Artcraft Wood Products.

“This is a parking lot for the church and we have handicapped people that have to get food out of here. … Fix it right. Please,” said neighbor George Cesnalis, who owns Artcraft.

Cesnalis said the city has patched the hole before, but the patch never holds.

“It’s frustrating to know that it’s a simple fix, and we’re getting smart garbage cans downtown. Fix the road,” Cesnalis said. “It’s a problem because we have semi-trucks come in and we have forklifts that ride through here."

Neighbors said they’ve notified the city. City officials said they’re aware of the hole and it’s on their list to get fixed.
