(KAIR)--The fluctuating weather this time of year causes several minor annoyances. But one you may not think about.
“This time of year, potholes become more prevalent,” said Atchison Public Works Director Justin Pregont. “When the freeze/thaw cycle is going back and forth a cross that thaw point of 32 degrees. This is high season for that kind of thing. Our streets guys work on it most days. There's really no way to avoid them, it's just part of what we have to do.”
He says although potholes are unavoidable, city crews work hard to repair them as they happen.
“We can't fix them if we don't know about it,” Pregont said. “While, we're proactive with filling potholes and getting them fixed, if you have one that's a particular concern to you, I recommend you call the city shop at 367-5561 or there's also a tool on the city's website that allows you to report a pothole.”
