Protect Your Tires & Report Neighborhood Potholes

The city has filled in a record number of potholes so far this year – 113,131 to be exact, more than they did during the same time in 2012 and 2013 combined. And recently, Mayor de Blasio, summoning his previously displayed shoveling power, got out there to try his hand at at filling potholes. Sadly for us, though, that was in Queens — because from the looks of things, we’re not faring too well out here.

The one above, spotted last week on 11th Street and 4th Avenue , is particularly nasty, with someone deciding it was best to warn folks about it by dropping a trash can into it.

By Monday, the trash can had been replaced by an orange traffic cone.

If you see any potholes out there, be sure to report them (as we did this one) to 311, which you can do online, and they’ll get to them…eventually.

Have you noticed more potholes than usual this year, or is it not so bad?
