5. How will potholes be repaired? <br />Potholes will be repaired temporarily during cold weather with a cold asphalt mix or other <br />means. During cold weather, the repairs will be limited to those determined to he hazardous <br />for motor vehicles. In warmer weather and when hot asphalt mix is available, potholes will be <br />filled with hot asphalt mix or other means for a more permanent repair. <br />If a street is scheduled to be reconstructed or is beyond its useful life only holes that are <br />considered to be dangerous to vehicles and /or pedestrians will be filled. Cold mix will be used <br />if available so as not to waste City resources on a street that will be replaced in the near future. <br />The Public Works Department and City Engineer will have discretion as to when streets will be <br />minimally maintained. <br />6. Priorities and schedule for which potholes will be repaired <br />The City will repair potholes once a list has been made of potholes around the city. Crews will <br />address as many potholes as they can with a batch of hot mix or cold mix. If one street is <br />worse off than another or if there are some very large holes they will be filled first and the rest <br />will follow. Patching operations will continue until all potholes listed are filled as long as <br />time, weather, and resources allow. <br />7. Weather conditions <br />Pothole repairs will be conducted only when weather conditions do not limit the ability to <br />perform the work or when such work would not endanger the safety of city employees and <br />equipment. Factors that may delay repairs are cold temperatures, rain, snow, and ice <br />conditions. <br />8. Documentation <br />Workers will document all street repairs to potholes that are made under this policy. Records <br />will not necessarily identify each individual pothole, but may show the general street location <br />where repairs were made. <br />9. Warning signs or devices <br />If the city knows of a pothole in a street and it is not able to repair it, it will consider whether it <br />should use warning signs or devices. Factors that will be examined will be the location of the <br />pothole, how dangerous it is, and whether a warning sign or device would be effective. <br />10. Review and Modification of Policy <br />The Public Works Superintendent shall keep on file all comments and complaints received <br />regarding this policy. The policy will be reviewed periodically. Any review will consider continents <br />and complaints since the last review and any other factors affecting the policy or its <br />implementation. <br />3 <br />2 <br />City of Little Canada <br />
