'The roads are just crumbling': Indian Trail mayor says Union Co. roads are unsafe Ruby Durham Replay Video UP NEXT Drivers in Union County, North Carolina, are fed up with potholes, including Indian Trail Mayor Michael Alvarez, who has hit his breaking point. "Indian Trail is one great big pothole," Alvarez said. He says the county's roads are crumbling. No matter where you go, Alvarez says a pothole will pop up on you in the blink of an eye. "Monroe, Waxhaw, Weddington" Alvarez said. Over the last 24 months, Alvarez said he's had to replace two wheels and five tires. "Just recently, my wife got a brand-new car, goes [and] takes it out, hits a pothole that causes a bubble and the tire slits in half," he said. "The roads are just crumbling and the answers we get from NCDOT is, 'It's been all the rain we've had this year,' but the holes have been there before that."
