Description
The City of San Diego said its crews were out in full force Thursday, trying to fill as many potholes as possible before next week's rain.
Crews repaired a stretch of Saturn Boulevard outside the Home Depot Store. According to the city, Saturn Boulevard scored very low on the city's Pavement Condition Index. Crews ground down a few inches of the road and are putting asphalt over it.
The city said recent rain has damaged streets even more.
"Oh tremendously, for instance on pothole reports, we probably have four times the number reported on a daily basis since all of those rains hit," said Philip Lowery, Assistant Deputy Director of Transportation.
"Right now, on a daily basis we have 90 people out every day across the city working on potholes," he added.
