The blossoming spring and the impending arrival of warm weather means it is time to fix roads impacted by a colder than usual season.
The City of Charlottesville is planning on an intense campaign of repairing any sections of degraded asphalt and is seeking information.
“Public Works encourages residents to help in our ‘Pothole Blitz,’ which will run from March 24 to April 4, by reporting potholes in need of repair,” reads an information release sent out today. “If you see a pothole, take note of its location and report it to the City as we work to improve the safety of our streets.”
All of the work will be done in-house.
You can call them in to the public service division at 434-970-3830, by using the MyCville app, or submitting a candidate online.
“Potholes and other maintenance activity occurs year round, as weather permits, but after especially harsh winters with low temperatures and more moisture potholes and pavement issues increase so we typically see an increase in volume,” said Afton Schneider, the city’s director of communications and public engagement.
The Pothole Blitz is separate from normal paving that the public service division will also undertake this spring. See below a list for the current schedule.
Before you go: This story initially went out in the March 19, 2025 edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement. It’s a smaller story, but the hope is that each story will find one person who finds it of worth.
