Washtenaw County ranks No. 3 in potholes on statewide reporting tool

March 03, 2011 14:38

Washtenaw County has the third-most potholes in the state, according to motorists who have reported them the last two weeks on an online mapping tool from the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association.
Fifty-three potholes annoy drivers in Washtenaw County, well behind front-runner Wayne County at 311. Oakland County has 90 and Kent County has 40.

Most potholes shown on the map in Washtenaw County are in Ann Arbor. Some include comments from drivers, such as, "The potholes on the bridge going over state street are getting bigger and bigger in both lanes."

You can submit pothole locations, photos and comments on the organization's website. The association will put the information on a Google map and report the information to state and local road agencies.
