Yes, it’s that time of year again. It’s pothole season. With the freeze and thaw and freeze and thaw cycle in full gear right now, we will begin to start seeing our old driving nemesis more often – the pothole.
We have a new feature for our residents to assist us this year in fighting potholes. We have installed a new link at the City’s website – www.edenprairie.org – that will allow residents to report potholes directly to our Street Division office. The link will lead you to an e-form. Use the e-form to give us a location description of the pothole. We would also like to know who is reporting the pothole so that we can follow-up with you, if we need to. There is also a link to report potholes on state highways. We don’t fix those potholes, but we will make sure they know about them.
It sounds like we will get a ton of heavy wet snow today, but it will likely be melted by tomorrow. Lots of moisture and temperatures fluctuating between 20 and 40 F are ripe conditions for potholes. We’d appreciate your help in attacking this annual nuisances as they grow.
