Winter is long gone (hopefully), but reminders of its severity still linger in our streets in the form of gigantic, tire-consuming potholes. While city crews are working diligently to fill in the most offensive, there's a good chance they may overlook that sly monster you hit every day on the way to work. That's why it's time to get proactive: Got your eye on an awful pothole? Let the Department of Public Works know about it. Call the DPW Service Center hotline at 414.286.8282, or visit their Service Request Site to report anything from giant potholes, to standing water, to tree roots buckling your front walk.
