I use the 311 app to report potholes all the time. They repair them pretty promptly
Gonna give this a try. I reported a pot hole in the concrete section of I-10 at the 565 exit (Vance Jackson eastbound) way back in April. It had been there for months at the time. They finally patched it in late August! It was huge…2' across and 8-10" deep. It would ruin wheels and tires if/when hit.
That is TxDOT ROW. 311 is a City function. I don't know if they forward those to TxDOT.
I reported a 12" pothole on our city street Thursday night last week. It was patched by Friday afternoon.
For certain things 311 is great. For other things it still has gaps. I went to an event at the AlamoDome a few weeks back. I saw several emergency routes blocked which I felt was a life safety code violation. The way the app menu is, it did not let me report it as such, so I reported it as someone blocking the sidewalk and included "311 DOESNT ALLOW ME TO REPORT This TO THE PROPER DEPARTMENT. PLEASE FORWARD THIS THE FIRE MARSHALL."
