Fargo's Streets

The more I drive with 17s and 225/45 tires, the more I appreciate thicker tires. Most of Moorhead's older neighborhoods in the north have pretty decent streets; Fargo's older streets are misery.It's easier to avoid them in Moorhead it seems like, where as like every street in Fargo has atleast one really bad area.

Yeah, they're pretty shitty. Even in the new neighborhoods it seems like the roads suck. Osgood for example has some pretty wavy bumpy roads, not as many pot holes though.
Like others have said, its hard to maintain a decent surface with a climate like Fargo's. Think about the exapanding and contracting that goes on with tempetures ranging from -40 to 90+.
Just be glad that we don't live in a city like New York. The roads are horrible on another level over there.

I never really realized how shitty they were until i started driving the s. The suspension really gives alot of feedback. And the moped can be kinda scary with those little wheels in some of those pot holes.

never had much of a problem in fargo, there's just a cpl spots that i avoid where i drive on a regular basis (7th ave between 45th and interstate, and 10th st between 12 ave and 15th ave)... Moorhead on the other hand i avoid completely... main avenue is so fucked i just never go there...

Osgood, Eagle Run, Westport Beach, Charleswood all have bumpy roads. Biggest reason is that the neighborhoods are still being developed so there are constantly construction crews going up and down the streets w/ heavy (relatively) equipment...add in the crazy temp shifts from summer to winter combined with the groundswelling that comes with that and it's easy to see how they can get pretty effed up.
