Municipal Operations Crews Are Ready For Rain And Tackling The Potholes

As if the City's Municipal Operations department haven't been busy enough this winter, a mild spell is revealing horrendous potholes.
Kevin Rice says they are preparing for tomorrow's rain and the anticipated snow melt that will come as it combines with very mild temperatures.

Rice tells CHSJ News their crews are out weekly identifying potholes and adding them to the list. He says they prioritize typically by size and the type of damage they could do to a vehicle and tackle those ones first.


Rice adds the potholes that citizens call them about, they are often already aware of.  He adds crews did put pylons up yesterday alerting drivers to a particular nasty pothole on Chesley Drive.
