ALBUQUERQUE’S POTHOLE PROBLEM USUALLY GETS WORSE IN THE WINTER. BUT THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT. CITY MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR WILFRED GALLEGOS SAYS THE NUMBER OF POTHOLES AROUND TOWN HAS SKYROCKETED THIS SPRING AND SUMMER. HE SAYS ALL THE RAIN WE GOT IN THE SPRING MAY HAVE CREATED MORE OF THEM BY WATER GETTING INTO THE SUB-GRADE.
GALLEGOS SAYS THAT BY THE END OF THIS MONTH, THEY’LL HAVE REPAIRED MORE THAN 12-THOUSAND POTHOLES … ABOUT 3 THOUSAND MORE THAN LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME. HE SAYS THE CITY NOW HAS TWO POTHOLE REPAIR TRUCKS THAT WORK DAILY.
IF YOU SPOT A POTHOLE, REPORT IT TO 311.
