NEWYORK: Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani repaired New York City\u2019s 200,000th pothole of the year on Troutman Street in Bushwick with the help of the Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) crews and Ra-mel, a 311 worker who fields pothole complaints and helps ensure repairs are made swiftly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In early April, the Mayor filled the city\u2019s 100,000th pothole of the year on Staten Island, marking the highest number of potholes filled in the first 100 days of a year in more than a decade.<\/p>\n

While NYC DOT crews spend the summer milling and repaving streets \u2014 the most effective way to prevent potholes from forming in the colder months \u2014 roadway crews continue to repair an average of 3,000 potholes each week. So far this year, NYC DOT has paved 757 lane miles of streets across the five boroughs, the distance from New York City to Nashville.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the little things that say a lot about whether government is delivering for New Yorkers. Fixing the broken water fountain at the playground our kids love, upgrading the catch basin on the corner that always floods and, of course, making a bumpy road smooth again,\u201d said Mayor Mamdani.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we are marking 200,000 pothole repairs \u2014 a testament to the dedicated City workers who show up every day to solve New Yorkers\u2019 problems and get the job done. That is what public service should look like.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo challenge is too big or too small, and that\u2019s why we were proud to repair 100,000 potholes in the first 100 days of the Mamdani administration. But after a brutal winter, the work has continued. While we freshly pave streets across the city, we have continued to make pothole repairs, now reaching the milestone of 200,000 since January 1st,\u201d said\u202fNYC DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are winning the war on potholes and delivering the safe, well-maintained streets New Yorkers deserve. Thanks to the Mayor\u2019s investment in repaving, New Yorkers should expect smoother roads ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTech isn\u2019t an abstract idea,\u201d said Chief Technology Officer and OTI Commissioner Lisa Gelobter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about solving everyday problems for city residents and those visiting our city. 311 is the city\u2019s digital engine that turns neighborhood feedback into action, and OTI is proud to support this work by ensuring 311 continues to provide top-notch service for every New Yorker and visitor.\u201d<\/p>\n

NYC311 connects New Yorkers to nonemergency services from more than 200 City agencies and nonprofits, serving 8 million people, 24\/7 every day of the year in up to 175 languages. Today, the service handles roughly 100,000 contacts daily across calls, texts, web, the 311 app and social media channels.<\/p>\n
