This street's story: 15 city catch basins and 10 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 deep, irregular pothole with visible cracking is cordoned off by orange traffic cones on Portland Street just south of Queen in the bicycle cycle track, with a metal box and pilot visible in the center. The hazard is actively marked but poses a tripping risk and potential damage to vehicles and bicycles on this high-traffic intersection.

Description · in the reporter's words

Large pothole on Portland just south of Queen in the bicycle cycle track. It has a sort of metal box in the middle with a pilot on top
