POTHOLES are back. Let your DOT office know where they can find them

POTHOLES are back. Let your DOT office know where they can find them by mapping @ Pothole Plotter 


The Pothole Plotter allows the public to locate a pothole on their street and with one click enter the location into a live GIS system. The pothole locations and associate information is stored in a GIS system to be distributed by email or text message to the officials that manage this asset. It’s really about building a Public Service Engine where not just pothole issues can be identified but locations like signs down, streetlights out, graffiti, trip hazards, and a host of issues which can be identified by the public.
We encourage the public to visit the application to see how they can use GIS to let the right people know where the potholes are located on their street.

I recently listen to an episode of CBC’s “Spark” on what they called “Crisis Maps” using crowd map technology.
