Mayor Keefe Announces Pothole Patrol Initiative
Mayor Patrick M. Keefe Jr. is proud to present his new initiative, Pothole Patrol, coming to a street near you.
As the weather begins warming up, City of Revere Department of Public Works crews will be moving from neighborhood to neighborhood, patching holes left in the road from winter storms, plows, and general wear and tear.
To activate the Pothole Patrol team, and to get your pesky neighborhood pothole filled, dial 311, submit a service request on the Revere311 app, or text PIPER at (844) 30-PIPER (74737). The Department of Public Works relies on resident reports for adequate data, so make sure to send in those potholes!
“We understand that our roads bear the burden of winter weather and, during the spring, it’s important to rectify those nuisance potholes to improve your daily commute,” said Mayor Keefe. He continued, “We have the staffing and equipment in our Department of Public Works to make these roadway repairs, and we have Revere311 to ensure that resident reports are catalogued and managed in a timely manner. 311 is our scoreboard: We monitor resident requests throughout the workday in the Mayor’s Office on our 55” dashboard, and follow-up with weekly control checks to ensure that the work has been completed. Pothole Patrol is nothing more than good, practical governance to make those simple, quality-of-life improvements for all residents.”
