Hartford says it has filled 2,768 potholes in city streets within the past six weeks and vows city crews will continue patching the tire and suspension-busters as fast as it can.
Describing the effort a “quality of life issue,” Mayor Pedro Segarra says since May 1 “Hartford’s Pothole Patrol” has filled 2,651 pavement breaks as soon as it spots them, plus another 144 filled because residents notified the city’s 311 Call Center.Â
Twenty-seven of those cases remain open, but are on target to be filled within 100 hours of the original 311 notification, Segarra said in a statement Wednesday.
The mayor says he instructed the city public works staff more than a month ago to ensure that two dedicated trucks are out each day in the North End neighborhoods; two in the South End neighborhoods; and one truck is dedicated to the Central Business District and the West End.
