City to begin weeklong 'Pothole Palooza' on Monday
"During this one-week initiative, all Streets Division staff will be fully dedicated to pothole repair, including working overtime shifts to ensure broad and timely coverage," the city announced in a news release this week.
"This intensive effort is designed to address high-priority potholes quickly and effectively, especially in light of recent rainfall, which has exacerbated road damage," the release said.
Last year's Pothole Palooza led to the repair of more than 1,000 potholes citywide, according to the city. The city has held the event as a two-week initiative in the past but is limiting it to one week this year "to lessen the burden on staff and avoid falling behind on other critical street maintenance duties."
"Despite the shorter timeframe, the City remains committed to high-impact results," the release said.
To report potholes, call 505-955-6949 or submit a request online to the Constituent Services Department at santafenm.gov/city-clerk-community-engagement/cs.

Partly cloudy, hot and humid in the Philadelphia region on Sunday. A possible late storm into the evening.
Conditions will stay fairly quiet overnight with just a small chance for patchy fog, though mid-level clouds may prevent much from forming. Temperatures will drop into the mid-60s to low 70s — warmest in the city. Sunday will be hotter, with highs reaching the upper 80s to low 90s. A cold front will approach late in the day and into Sunday night. Ahead of it, a weak disturbance could trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms in the evening. Some storms may be strong, with locally damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall possible, though coverage looks limited. Severe weather is UNLIKELY. As the front passes Sunday night, showers will clear out and cooler, drier air will move in for Monday and Tuesday. Highs will only reach the mid-70s to low 80s with occasional light showers possible. Looking ahead, Hurricane Erin will pass well offshore midweek, but we'll still see indirect impacts: rough surf, a high risk of rip currents, and the potential for minor coastal flooding from Monday through Thursday. Conditions improve by the end of the week with high pressure returning. After a rapid intensification, Hurricane Erin is now a powerful Category 4 storm with winds of 145 mph. It is moving WNW at 20 mph and crossing into even warmer waters, which will allow the storm to strengthen further. Winds of 150 mph or higher are expected on Sunday. If the winds reach 157 mph, the storm will become a Category 5, the highest level on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The forecast track will remain north of Puerto Rico and east of the Bahamas. It will begin turning north in the next few days, passing close to Bermuda. Erin is expected to remain a strong hurricane as it travels northward off the east coast on Wednesday and Thursday, producing high surf and dangerous rip currents along the Jersey Shore. We may see some coastal flooding as well. Sunday: Stray storm. High 92, Low 71 Monday: Cloudy & cooler. High 76, Low 72 Tuesday: Clouds, some sun. High 77, Low 67 Wednesday: Scattered showers. High 80, Low 67 Thursday: Clouds, some sun. High 82, Low 68 Friday: Partly cloudy. High 84, Low 66 Saturday: Partly cloudy. High 85, Low 66 NEXT Weather Radars Hourly Forecast

Climate change is making things even worse for the poorly housed
Climate change is making Hong Kong's summers hotter. Yet tens of thousands of residents remain sardined into homes smaller than a parking space, where staying cool is a luxury few can afford as the climate warms. In small, enclosed spaces with little ventilation or cooling, indoor temperatures can soar past 100°F (37.7°C), posing serious health risks for the city's most vulnerable.

Alaska's glacial flood hit Juneau. Its makeshift wall held.
The record-breaking surge of water that burst from an Alaskan glacier this week was mostly contained by the temporary levee built in Juneau to prevent the type of flood damage that blasted the city the past two summers, officials said Wednesday.
