The City of San Antonio is ramping up repairs this April, aiming to fill 10,000 potholes with help from residents.<\/p>\n
SAN ANTONIO \u2014 The City of San Antonio is kicking off its annual Pothole Patrol Blitz, aiming to repair 10,000 potholes across the city this April.<\/p>\n
Now in its 10th year, the effort brings increased focus and longer work hours for crews as they tackle road repairs citywide.<\/p>\n
Officials say San Antonio typically fills about 70,000 potholes each year, but the April blitz helps accelerate repairs during a time of favorable weather.<\/p>\n
The city says residents play an important role in identifying problem areas. About 10 percent of pothole repairs come from reports submitted through 3-1-1.<\/p>\n
Nick Olivier with the city\u2019s Public Works Department says those reports make a difference.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re working longer hours and really focusing on responding to the increase in reports we\u2019re getting from the public,\u201d Olivier said.<\/p>\n
He added that crews move quickly once a report is submitted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they submit a pothole report via 3-1-1, we have a two-day turnaround to fill that pothole, and we hit that deadline 99% of the time, often sooner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Larger potholes requiring more extensive base repairs can take longer to fix.<\/p>\n
To report a pothole, residents can call 3-1-1 or use the 3-1-1 SA mobile app.<\/p>\n
City leaders are also encouraging community participation with a Fiesta-themed push. The city will host an outreach event at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at San Pedro Springs Park, where the first 100 attendees will receive a Fiesta medal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The City of San Antonio is ramping up repairs this April, aiming to fill 10,000 potholes with help…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230048,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":{"0":"post-230047","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-san-antonio","9":"tag-san-antonio-headlines","10":"tag-san-antonio-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
