The COVID-19 pandemic has affected nearly every aspect of people’s lives, and it’s even affecting how the City of Edmonton cleans, maintains and even spaces the roads.
On Friday morning, the city gave an update on pothole repair, traffic safety, how to safely find your space outside as the weather gets warmer and street sweeping.
As the weather warms up, crews are able to get out and fill potholes. This year, traffic volume has dropped as much as 50 per cent, allowing crews to work quicker and more efficiently.
Compared to last year, this spring crews have filled six per cent more potholes. Crews filled 9,863 potholes between April 12 and 19, bringing the yearly total to more than 64,000 repairs.
