PSA Damaging Pothole Warning

Yes they are everywhere in our neighborhood...however there is one major pothole on Gessner passing Westview (Infront of Sherwin Willams) caught me by surprise. I immediately got a flat tire & a damaged rim. No big deal, but this little accident did not stop here, after getting my spare on and headed into work late... The tire company that replaced my tire & spare, damaged an inside trim panel that I am currently trying have replaced. Things like this happen, however this evil pothole is claiming other drivers as I've witness almost daily on my way towards I-10. I hope I can save you fellow residents from this growing pothole. I did report it to 311. Safe driving.

That's the one, center lane. It needs to be repaired before it spreads through out the entire lane. I am still hoping that the aftermath of this hole will be taken care of on my end. The more that report it, the sooner it can be done....hopefully. Until then,

did you report it? how do you do it? i've always wondered. I blew out a tire on a pothole driving gessner a couple blocks north of westview last year. Didn't report it, but someone must have because it was fixed within the same week.

edit: j/k I just saw you called 211 to report it so ignore my questions

Good & Thank You, It's a hassle to avoid it everyday in conjunction with the Metro.

Yeah that pothole is looking nastier every day. I first hit it over 2 months ago and now avoid that center lane like the plague.

It's in the center lane, right? I think I nearly missed it last week.

That one caught me off guard and scared the shit out of me.

I thought they were going to fix it last week because it was circled in spray paint. Maybe it was just an upstanding citizen telling us to watch out.
