Change in Temperatures is a Pothole's Dream

Reminder on How to Report a Pothole

(Washington, D.C.) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT)
wants to remind residents the best practices in reporting a pothole as
moisture, salt, and fluctuating temperatures increase pothole instances.
While "pothole season" is still over a month away, when the District
launches an aggressive post-snow season pothole-filling effort, roadways
are already showing signs of wear and tear as roadway surfaces expand
and contract.

"We normally see an increase in potholes as warmer weather breaks in
late winter and early spring," said DDOT Director Gabe Klein. "We are
noticing an increase in potholes this week after the recent below
freezing temperatures broke. We want residents to be sure to report
instances so we can make temporary repairs quickly."

To report a pothole, residents and commuters can contact DDOT in a
variety of ways: 1) call the Mayor's Call Center at 311, 2) use the
On-line Service Request Center at www.dc.gov <http://www.dc.gov> , 3)
text message or Tweet to twitter.com/DDOTDC <mailto:twitter.com/DDOTDC>
, or 4) e-mail to Potholepalooza@dc.gov <mailto:Potholepalooza@dc.gov> .
Callers must identify the location including the correct quadrant
(northwest, northeast, southeast, southwest) in the city and as much
detail as possible about the hazard, including the approximate size and
depth of the pothole.
