ProJo collecting “killer pothole” photos

Sheila reports this morning on the ProJo’s effort to collect pothole photos.

Potholes are sneaky and dangerous; the worst offer the motorist a choice that isn’t a choice: Crash down into it or swerve into traffic in an adjacent lane. If we know where they are, we can avoid them; if we publish their locations, we can get them fixed.

Go here to view the potholes and upload your own. ProJo staffers review the photos before they go live, as of right now none have been approved yet (though I did just submit the above photo).

  • Ah, that pothole is nothing… Most of Cypress Street near the Providence Center on the East Side is waving, buckling, and crumbling… I near expect one of those tripods from “War of the Worlds” to come up through the ground… I’ll have to remember to bring my camera one day…

  • The ones at College and Benefit were filled already.

    There’s an egregious one at Transit and South Main that I need to get a photo of.
