I read in the paper that you are supposed to call in each pothole to this number,

Roadway Maintenance Hotline 496-1700


I'll be calling 50X a day if I have to. I hope you guys will too


Again, that number is 496-1700 :thumbup:

I think the shittiest job in town would be to be on the recieving end of that line.

Needless to say, im gonna call it.

Whoever is dumb enough to accept a job position like the guy on the receiving end of that phone number deserves to be yelled at.

Time to start calling in the millions of damn pot holes out there. I mean I have found a few pot holes I can Hide my ENTIRE car in!!:eek:

My daughter made an interesting observation the other day.

We were sitting at the train tracks on 137ave and she decided to start counting/estimating the number of potholes.

According to the city they estimate 400,000 potholes.

She went by the simple estimate of 200 streets by 200 aves.
Thus averaging to approximately 10 potholes per street or ave.

The extent of damage to the streets puts it closer to 20-25 potholes depending on the size you deemed worthy of calling a pothole or swimming pool.

At 20-25/street/ave would put it over a million potholes.

lol.. owned

but i think its more for them to know where potholes are. that way the planning can be a little better.

i'm pretty happy with the fixing of them so far this year.
on 144ave by victoria trail, they've fixed it probly about 3 times but more just keep coming. they just cant keep up.

You should see the wheelgap on my stockers.

It's pretty funny.

Invalid Zero
Gaytown. Is the wheel fucked or is it salvageable? At least it's a 17x8 right? Should be easy to get a new one.

95EagleAWD
Nah, it should be fixable.
