Winter Wreaks Havoc On Roads In Montana

Even though I know that, I'm a person of habit.  I drive to work the same way most every day.  I go home the same way most every day.  It's a matter of efficiency for me.  And maybe a little bit of my raising and a whole lot of just plain freaky.

Imagine my dismay at this pot hole.  It's getting bigger every single day.

When we have a lot of snow, it's no big deal.  However, we haven't had that much snow this year and this baby is getting bigger all the time.  I feel like it's big enough to jack up an alignment.

Remember The Parking Lot By Sam's Club?

January of last year I did this article on the potholes in the parking lot by Sam's Club, Ulta and North 40.

READ ON: The Parking Lot Of Shame

I was just there a week or so ago, and while it's still a horrifying place to drive, the pothole situation has gotten much better.

When writing it, I learned that the potholes were the responsibility of the business that owns that area of the parking lot.

Who Fixes Potholes On City Streets in Great Falls, Montana?

The City of Great Falls Public Works Department.  What I think is cool is they actually WANT us to call and let them know where potholes are forming or out of control.  It's called the PAR-TNER line and the number is 406.727.8637 or Public Works Operations Office at 406.771.1401.  They even offer a form to fill out called the Street Maintenance Notification Form.
