""New Yorkers deserve safe, smooth streets - and under Mayor Mamdani, we're delivering excellence in government to get the job done. We filled more than 8,000 potholes in a single day last Saturday and over 80,000 already this year.""
""The need for repairs in Queens became urgent on the night of Monday, March 9, when Jaikarran Seenarian, 46, was killed while riding his standup electric scooter after striking a pothole.""
The city's Department of Transportation is conducting a Pothole Blitz to address the urgent need for repairs after a severe winter. The initiative began on March 28, with crews deployed across Queens and the city. In a single day, over 8,000 potholes were repaired, significantly more than the weekly average. Since January 1, more than 80,000 potholes have been fixed. The urgency for repairs was highlighted by a fatal incident involving a pothole. The city plans to pave over 1,150 miles of roadway this year.
