"Each year, thousands of potholes plague Boston’s streets. The sunken patches of pavement, often caused by repeated freeze-thaw cycles below the roadway, are a menace to drivers, bicyclists, and anyone else who relies on city streets.
But how pervasive are they? Boston’s 311 service generates thousands of requests for pothole repairs across the city, allowing us to see which areas of the city are seeing the most requests for pothole repair, how this year stacks up to previous years, and how quickly potholes are getting repaired in Boston’s various neighborhoods."
