Photo of this pothole downtown by justincase1021 at flickr.com Traffic calming is achieved! I think it is now impossible, by the laws of physics, to speed on Providence roads without completely shredding one’s...

great effort, but is anyone calling it in/reporting them to the public works? Given all of the conversations I’ve heard recently about pot holes, I haven’t heard a single person say they’ve reported them, and I have no faith that public works is out inspecting the roads and using the 40+ degree day to quick patch the worst ones.
For whatever it is worth, I tweeted a link of this post to the Mayor (or whoever reads the Mayor’s Twitter). I do not know if the people who designed the map have made any other powers that be aware of it.
Matt I was out riding yesterday and I saw workers driving around and filling in potholes.
Like unshoveled sidwalks, there is a link to reporting potholes in ProvConnex.

Jef…maybe you can split the graphic at the top of the page to inlclude potholes.
Yes, the link in the sidebar goes to the “Streets & Sidewalks” reporting, so I can re-do the graphic for both. I’ll do it later this evening.
Ward 13 Councilor Bryan Principe posted this photo on his Facebook page of crews filling potholes on Broadway:
I saw one of these in action in Montreal two weeks ago:

\”What one Roadpatcher can do with one operator requires the time of five city workers.\”
If you read further, we could also use city workers who are willing to work 104 hrs in a week.
PS then the other four workers could be out shoveling!
The Potholes Project gets a URL and a mention in PBN.
