City of Boston Pothole Web Site.
City Councilor Maura Hennigan has set up a Web site for city residents to report potholes and other road and sidewalk hazards.
This proper repairing of streets and sidewalks is not a city budget issue. It is not affected by recent budget cutbacks. Utility companies and private contractors pay into a street and sidewalks fund on a regular basis. The purpose of this fund is to have the city permanently repair street and sidewalk excavations. As of this summer, this fund totaled $22 million.
Let's start reporting those potholes.
