Please continue to follow up with this story. I had been seeing signs along 880 stating that my tax dollars are put to use doing road repairs. But the portion of 880 that needs help is damaged yet again (all lanes Between Mowry Ave and Thornton Ave specially the on- ramp going North). The rains just exacerbated the issue.

They need more repaving, less repairing. These patches are not lasting long term, and just makes the whole problem worse.

I hit a pothole last night in my brand new tesla. My undercarriage got bent. Will the city pay to fix it?

Cal Trans has a form you can fill out and try to get reimbursed. However, only 1 in 10 are successful.

The surplus alone has reached a record-high $97 billion. Maybe should have spent some on the roads.

What happened to the gasoline taxes that Newsom collected to repair our infrastructure?

It’s simple. Cars are so heavy. Maybe let’s make our cities more walkable and bike-friendly.

Where I am our roads are incredibly old and need to be repaved. Since they haven't done that in DECADES we're stranded. A section of dangerous road we've complained about for years finally gave way and crumbled to bits. Infrastructure is important!

Putting a bandaid on it will not do long term repairs. The roads need to be resurfaced and or replaced properly.

Maybe you can do like Florida and make a toll every 100 yards. 😒

I’ve never lived anywhere that required me to get alignments more than once a year regularly before. It’s not just the road conditions, it’s the corrupt construction companies with a monopoly (like Ghilotti in the north bay) who intentionally do a poor job repairing the roads and just fill it with quick fix
Why do roads get potholes?
