What makes you think that?
- fwipsy 5mo agoI'm sure it depends on the city. I reported several large potholes in my city via an online form, and was disappointed to see them unrepaired for several months. Then one day I came and found that they'd repaved the whole street for 50m.
- pixl97 5mo agoYep, this kind of stuff can be extremely complicated because there are a lot of layers. Potholes have different causes. For example if there is a slow water leak that's compromised the road sub base that needs to get fixed first or you're just throwing money in a hole.
- ikesau 5mo agoI see road workers repairing potholes, and otherwise notice that potholes get repaired over time. Presumably there is an intelligent process that leads to this. What alternative is there?
