Yell about a Tacoma pothole

IT'S EASIER NOW >>>

You'll recall from high school lit class that Dante's version of hell had nine circles; all of them had holes in the road. Potholes. Craters, as Tacomans call them.

(You might want to double-check the whole circle-hell-pothole thing.)

Anyway, ask any Tacoman and they'll tell you they do indeed live in Dante's pothole hell.

In response to the complaints over the last 20 years, the City has launched a new pothole hotline at 253.591.5161 that offers an easy way to report potholes you encounter around the city 24-hours a day.

According to the release, the hotline offers an option to submit a standard report or yell into the receiver about a pothole that just threw out your back.

(Again, you might want to double-check the yelling part.)

"Response times to fix a reported pothole vary depending on the type of street where the pothole is found," states the release. "For an arterial street, the typical response time is 24 to 36 hours and for residential streets, the typical response time is 24 hours to 10 days."

Potholes can also be cursed at in 140 characters to the City's Twitter account at www.twitter.com/CityofTacoma, or in a different fashion online at www.tacomaservices.org.
