So maybe every spring there's an underground watercourse eroding the ground there. Clarkson is a bit hard to explain that way. But about a month ago, a water main burst at the intersection of RR and Clarkson, causing the road to take on various shapes. Maybe there's some kind of drainage issue there.

EN: They don't have enough bus drivers. - The quick answer is that there haven't been enough city bus drivers for years. If you need to be somewhere at a certain time, it's inconvenient, but taking a scheduled bus before your desired time is your best bet without spending more money. If they cancel one time, the next scheduled one almost always isn't cancelled. It's more painful on smaller routes without frequent buses. Maybe you can sometimes carpool with classmates and/or coworkers who live in your area. (7)

As inconvenient as it is if you need to be somewhere at a certain time, taking the bus scheduled before the one you want is you best option without sp - They say they have enough drivers, they just don't want to schedule anyone for holidays.
