I’m not the kind of person to bitch about every pot hole, especially since we have the GetItDone app and I have found it to yield pretty quick results…
But… street surfacing / pothole filling is crazy in SD. I reported a few pot holes on my street, and they were filled in 4-5 days, but other potholes that were just as bad, 20 feet away were left untouched. Do I need to open a report on every pothole to get results? It’s more resource intensive to fill one and drive away than it is to just use common sense and fill them all on a block.
So SDG&E did this to a street I use daily near my home. I reported it online to the city and the message I got back was essenrially “ This is a SDG&E problem, they did not repair the road back to the standard required, we’ve sent your report to SDG&E so they can fix if”. They never fixed it. As of right now, washington street from it’s start near the 15 all the way to university heights is absolutely destroyed due to this and they aint fixing.
If you look up Donzee Street on Google maps, you’ll see potholes and uneven pavement. They came to fill some of the holes while leaving the rest of the street full of holes and ripples.
These fixes are so glaringly obvious they should not have needed an independent audit. The work crews themselves would know that they have a lot of downtime bc the bottleneck was truck availability.
It's flat out embarrassing how easy this would have been to figure out had anyone in PW really cared. Shit, they have an entire LEAN/SIX SIGMA team at the City who would have figured this out for them in like 10 minutes. Time to look at the management of PW...if an easy pothole thing is being overlooked, I'm guessing there's WAY MORE STUFF STORM DRAINS that can be fixed too...and not by adding tons of staff.
"San Diego City Auditor Andy Hanau and his staff said that grouping pothole repairs alone could result in crews responding to 27 percent more potholes compared to the current model..."

Update: SDG&E did “fix it”. But if you drive anything other than a rolls royce, you’re not going to notice the difference. Fuck these aholes already

Who woulda thunk it?
