Keep an eye on the city.
I work for the local government here and they have started using governmental immunity more & more in cases like this.
Glad you were not hurt. Good luck with the repairs!!

Patches with a rear that big it will be hard to miss, even if I am in NY.

Glad you're ok, that sux.
I describe that as "you get what you pay for". I drive for a living so believe me when I tell you there are a lot of knuckle heads out there behind the wheel driving trucks. A lot of good drivers but a lot of idiots too.
