(AP) — A western Omaha man spent his Labor Day working for free, repairing a street near his home.

Frank Basilico said the cracks, ruts and potholes in the Elkhorn neighborhood roadway posed a danger to his son, who likes to skateboard.

Basilico says his calls to the city didn’t induce any repairs, so he decided to wait no longer. He cleaned out the problem areas in the asphalt pavement, especially along the curb. He’d bought 18 bags of concrete mix, which he moistened and turned over in a wheelbarrow, and worked his way down the street.
