City to begin weeklong 'Pothole Palooza' on Monday
The Santa Fe Public Works Department will conduct its annual, weeklong "Pothole Palooza" beginning 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.

New bus shelters in Prince Rupert enhance local transit experience
Prince Rupert has upgraded its public transit system by installing three new bus shelters at key locations across the city. 'The shelters are located at the Prince Rupert Hospital, the intersection of Kootenay and Mckay Street, and Charles Hays Secondary School, which are all priority locations based on the number of active users and community need in those areas,' said the City of Prince Rupert in a recent press release. The City stated that the new enclosures offer improved protection from the elements, which is much needed in Prince Rupert's rainy climate. They were also designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring wheelchair users can comfortably use the covered space. The City and the BC Transit Shelter Program collaboratively funded the project. The program provides municipalities with access to provincial and federal funding that enables affordable bus stop upgrades for local governments. While the program funds the shelters themselves and the cost of installation, local governments cover the costs of the concrete pads and maintenance of the bus stops. 'The priority of more shelters at bus stops is something that we heard loud and clear from transit users when we did our work on our Transportation Plan, and we're happy to be delivering on that request from the community,' said Mayor Herb Pond. 'We're also grateful to BC Transit for providing grant funds to support this work, and look forward to making continued improvements in the years to come.' The City emphasized that providing supportive transit amenities in designated priority areas is a key objective of the City's Transportation Plan. Error!
