How to Report a Pothole in Atlanta
Downtown Atlanta roadways suffer the same fate as their sister roads along the Eastern seaboard: At winter’s end, they are pock-marked with a virtual minefield of potholes. The bane of motorist and boon of auto-shop owners, potholes wreck havoc on vehicles and their drivers. Not only are they the cause of countless fender-benders, but the dip alone can damage tires, rims, undercarriages, fenders and more. If you fall into one of Atlanta’s holey hazards while driving, report its location to the city’s Pothole Posse and save the next person in its perilous path.

Note the address. The street name is important, as are any cross streets. If you can, find the number on the building closest to your pothole. Being as specific as you can will ensure that the Pothole Posse targets your pothole and not another of the roadway’s pockmarks.
