Don’t gripe, report potholes

While “Welcome Back to Pothole City” is mildly amusing and I am sure reflects the sentiments of many city residents, it is in the long run not very helpful. The hot topic of the year seems to be potholes in the streets. Yes, the streets are not great. Complaining to your neighbors, friends, co-workers, and newspaper won’t, however, get them fixed.
I have found that any potholes I have reported to the city have been fixed within three to four days. Sewer grate repairs have been done the next day. So if you are really concerned about a pothole on your street or on the streets going to and from work, etc. perhaps you could take responsibility for that pothole and let the city know it needs fixing. You may email them at servicecentre@city.pg.bc.ca or phone them at 250-561-7525.
