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.
