City Decides To Fix Potholes For Disney Company

By Newsradio 88 Staff

How do you get the city to fix a bunch of potholes?

Have a parade with lots of lightbulbs.

The city repaved a pothole ridden stretch of 42nd street so none of the 500,000 light bulbs in Disney's electric light parade tomorrow will be broken.

The parade to announce the premier of Disney's newest animated film "hercules" doesn't start until 9:15 tomorrow night...but part of 42nd street will close at 9 tonight so Disney can get the 30 floats lined up.

Anywhere from several hundred thousand to a million people are expected to line the parade route.
