COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- The Colorado Springs Street Division will begin repairing reported potholes Monday, starting with ones reported on high-traffic roads.
Officials with the Street Division said additional crews have been assigned to correlate with the push to repair potholes within two weeks of when they are reported.
Anyone can report a pothole in a road by calling the pothole hotline at (719) 385-7623 or downloading the pothole repair app on an iPhone.
When reporting a pothole, officials said you should include the street name, direction of traffic flow, the intersection, closest address, side of the street and which lane it is in (Example: Pothole in the right lane of southbound Academy Boulevard just north of Constitution Avenue).
In 2011 crews filled 24,208 potholes. The city maintains about 1,500 miles of roadway but won't repair potholes on state or county roads much as Powers Boulevard or U.S. Highway 24.
