The Roads and Parking Services team has sprung into action to address the increased number of potholes throughout the city. In between winter events, crews have been filling potholes across the city. Starting this week, staff have been redirecting additional resources and deploying more crews to fill potholes. Don’t look now, but we’ve even brought in the reinforcements; two Pythons have arrived in Ottawa and got to work on Sunday night! They can fill a pothole in less than two minutes. Based on the forecast, staff are anticipating several freeze-thaw cycles over the coming weeks. The city has already experienced 45 freeze/thaw cycles this winter season. Staff appreciate your patience as they transition between different winter maintenance activities and prioritize and deploy resources to complete operations. For residents wishing to report a pothole, a service request can be created online.
