This street's story: 15 city catch basins and 9 manholes serve this block. Water that does not drain works into a seam in the road, and that is how a crack becomes a pothole.

The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

A circular pothole approximately 12-18 inches in diameter is present in the asphalt at 52 Carlaw Avenue with exposed aggregate, soil, and crumbling edges creating a hazard for pedestrians and vehicles. Surrounding pavement is deteriorating with scattered gravel, and water pooling or further collapse is likely without repair.
