Tell the City about those pesky potholes

Rainy days definitely help out road damage

I don’t know about you, but swerving around that pothole (that’s been there for probably over a year now) day after day gets a little tedious. Since the rainocolypse, those potholes have gotten bigger and have increased in numbers. Well now’s your chance to tell the city about it, and hopefully the city will fix it this weekend during the “Operation Pothole.”

From January 8-9, City Council President Garcetti along with the Board of Public Works and the Bureau of Street Services have dedicated about 50 crews to plug up those potholes, cracks, and other damages caused by recent storms. This more than doubles the usual number of crews to repair the estimated 10-15,000 potholes.

Garcetti’s office is asking anyone who experiences these rascals should notify the city before the weekend. Call 311 with the location, email bss.boss@lacity.org, or tell Garcetti on his Facebook page.
