Any chance you'll repair the potholes at Caton & Joh? One of my crew trucks took a hit there. Busted the axle. I talked to a friend in DOT. A crew cold patched it last year. You still got open requests for it. It's a 1'x4' hole. You & I know that's not the right way. You gotta clean the hole and use hot mix. Bottom line you need to resurface the road.

You bet! Send us a report using the 311 app. Our crews are already out fixing potholes with the warmer weather, and we can put that on our list.

I'll put in another report. Crazy I have to do 5 reports AND call it out on Reddit.

You don't have to submit another if you already have 311 active reports.

Calling 311 is the best way to follow up on any ticket you've submitted. When calling, you can say “I’d like to check on the status of my service request. Would you mind looking up the details in the Salesforce system for me please?”. This will get you the most information.

I have two patients who were in an accident at that pothole. It’s a very deep, very dangerous hole, I’d call it a sinkhole. Their car isn’t driveable, they have months of pt ahead of them.

I hope you can get this fixed, the area around Caton Avenue, Patapsco Avenue, Wilkens Avenue and Benson Avenue is deteriorating fast because of all the heavy trucks driving through. I won’t drive down that way. I heard at a neighborhood meeting we won’t get any help, support for having the road resurfaced because that would require the road to be closed for hours or maybe more, the truck companies now take priority because they donated to Ms. Porter the new councilwoman and her friend who runs the Village of Violetville.

I remember when Benson Avenue was resurfaced last time, I still worked in the medical office building there. We had a little grand opening festival, they kept the road closed for a day after it was completed so children could ride their bikes and skateboards. I can see how truck companies would be upset at the road closed for a day or two, we need safe roads more than we need whatever jobs the truck companies may have. I don’t know anyone who works for those companies, I know many people who were injured or had car damage from the bad roads.

I wasn't here. I saw pics. It's cool they did that.

I heard the same. That's why they cold patched it. It takes less than a hour.
