This is the tenth year for this effort to accelerate street repairs. <\/p>\n<p>Art Reinhardt is director of the Public Works department and is asking residents to call 311 to report the broken pavement and help them meet their goal of filling 10,000 potholes in April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst the crews will come out. They\u2019ll make a nice clean cut ripping out the area. They\u2019ll clean it out with the equipment. They\u2019ll put a sealant down and then they\u2019ll put the coal patch, pack it in and move on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reinhardt guarantees one to two business days for crews to respond. Depending on the size of the pothole, allow an hour or two for completion of the repair. Workers are prepared to fill 80,000 potholes across the city this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGenerally, when we\u2019re talking potholes, we\u2019re talking three feet by three feet or less,\u201d said Reinhardt. \u201cSo, about the smaller ones that we can come out with our two-man patch truck and fill those in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" alt=\"The Pothole Patrol sets up shop to kick-off this month's Blitz\"  width=\"880\" height=\"660\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775160248_145_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>     The Pothole Patrol sets up shop to kick off this month&#8217;s Blitz<\/p>\n<p>Paula Stallcup, the director of 311 customer service for San Antonio, said potholes are the easiest thing you can call in, and she encourages residents to use the city\u2019s mobile application.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of your eyes that are out here, pay attention to the street. I was over in the Medical Center yesterday and called in a couple. Actually, I put it in through my mobile app. Go download it,\u201d said Stallcup. &#8220;It\u2019s free, and it takes less than 30 seconds to submit your pothole. All together, we keep our city beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first 100 residents to report a pothole received an exclusive Pothole Patrol Fiesta medal designed by local artist Adrian Jimenez at Wednesday&#8217;s kick-off.<\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" alt=\"Pothole Patrol mascot Coney and Public Works employees present a certificate to 2026 Fiesta medal artist Adrian Jimenez.\"  width=\"880\" height=\"660\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775160249_787_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>    Pothole Patrol mascot Coney and Public Works employees present a certificate to 2026 Fiesta medal artist Adrian Jimenez.<\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" alt=\"Public Works director Art Reinhardt wears the official Pothole Patrol Fiesta 2026 medal.\"  width=\"880\" height=\"660\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775160250_929_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>     Public Works Director Art Reinhardt wears the official Pothole Patrol Fiesta 2026 medal.<\/p>\n<p>More events are planned this month to encourage residents to report a pothole on residential and arterial streets in San Antonio. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sign up for TPR Today, Texas Public Radio&#8217;s newsletter that brings our top stories to your inbox each&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":232303,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":{"0":"post-232302","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\/232302","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=232302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232302\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/232303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=232302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=232302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=232302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
