Mayor Erin Mendenhall said teams of about 70 workers are focusing entirely on patching potholes this week after roads were wrecked by wintry weather.
Mayor Erin Mendenhall repairs a pothole after announcing the city's Pothole Palooza road repair effort on Tuesday, April 11, 2023. This winter wreaked havoc on city streets, leading crews to fill about 1,000 more potholes in the first few months of 2023 than they did all of last year, according to“If you’ve seen more potholes than normal,” she said, “you’re not crazy.”The mayor said crews are responding to repair requests that may come throughfor reporting issues such as potholes, graffiti and illegal dumping, but they’re also being directed to fill any other potholes they see.
Experts and city officials said the dearth of reporting could be attributed to west-siders facing more barriers, including a digital divide, longtime distrust in government, income differences, a general lack of knowledge of how to interact with local government, and a lack of language accessibility.
