City of Prince George begins pothole repairs
PRINCE GEORGE – Now that the snow is mostly melted and our streets are clear, the City of Prince George has begun its annual pothole maintenance.
Up to this point, the City’s Manager of Roads and Fleets Jordan Wiseman says 74 potholes have been filled, with 52 of those being responses to service requests.
“We’re just getting started, we’re not receiving a lot of calls, and the inspections that we do on some of our higher speed, higher volume roads, they’re just not producing the potholes that they normally would. But that doesn’t mean that they’re not going to be there,” Wiseman said.
“Last year we did around 2500 potholes in 2023. So that’s significantly lower than, say, eight years ago where we did almost 20,000 potholes. The capital paving plan that has been approved by council over the last few years is paying dividends for us,” he continued.
