no but there's a biggie on stanwix between 3rd and 4th st. looks like it goes all the way to china. i think it would be cool to document the progression of a pothole throughout the winter. just take a pic everyday and make a slide show of it. maybe next winter.

Man, how fresh is it? How about center ave around Whole Foods and Giant Eagle? I have to do bunny hops on that damn street.

You could lose your first born in a few along Greenfield ave between the car wash and swinburne bridge, and in another on 18th street north of pius.

i hope that the person whose idea it was to pave centre ave and east lib in concrete got a flogging

Have you tried calling 3-1-1 to inform them of the killer pothols locations? Some cities actually appreciate getting this information, as it helps them prioritize their road crew activities.

Outside the City of Pittsburgh, you can use the "Report a Highway Hazard" link on the SPC website, and we'll try to get the the issue to the appropriate entity for resolution. The link can be found at http://www.spcregion.org/trans_freight.shtml#report, and the form is about halfway down the page.


We can't commit to matching Mayor Ravenstahl's 5 day response promise, of course!
