Streets and transportation
Keeping our roads safe and in a state of good repair is our priority.
Repairing potholes is an affordable way to maintain our roads. Potholes can form on older road surfaces due to seasonal changes in temperature – freezing and thawing.
Our crews routinely monitor road conditions and identify areas that need repairs. Road users and business owners can help by reporting potholes when you see them. This year, we will spend more than $350,000 to repair potholes across the city.
