Boston’s 2011 Pothole Season came early this year. Neither drivers nor bicyclists nor bus riders are spared. Oftentimes you can’t see the craters until it’s too late. Ka-THUNK.
Here’s where you can help: Report the worst potholes in and around Boston, and we’ll map the data. (You might have seen our map of unshoveled sidewalks.)
Here are three ways to file a pothole report:
- Fill out this Web form
- Text POTHOLE to 698-66 and follow instructions
- Tap “Assignments” in WBUR’s iPhone app (iTunes link)
We’re also including data from the Mayor’s Hotline in Boston. You can call (617) 635-4500, fill out this form or download the Citizens Connect mobile app (iTunes, Android Market). This only works for the city of Boston. (Our form also covers surrounding cities and towns.)
