SAN ANTONIO – It’s a familiar problem to San Antonio drivers and it’s one that the winter weather and extreme cold earlier this month could make worse: potholes. The City of San Antonio’s Public Works Department is preparing for an increase in complaints about potholes now that the weather has thawed. And if the base has any other issues, that base will start to deteriorate,” said Paul Berry, spokesman for the public works department. “And once that base deteriorates and cars drive over the asphalt, that’s when you get your potholes.”Berry said crews already fix 250 to 300 potholes a day. The 16 crews spot most of them, but around 10 to 15 percent are reported by the public through 311.

These wheelchair ramps have been replaced several times, but we’ve never seen sidewalks,” Rico said. “So when the original developer of this neighborhood put in (the original ramps), I don’t know what he did it for.
