Our Roads are Full of Potholes. Why Are They So Hard to Fix?
The pothole is the bane of any commuter’s day. In Oakland, the city has paid over $35 million in the last 10 years in pothole litigation. And according to a new study, nearly one quarter of San Francisco’s streets are rated below standard. We’ll talk to experts about road maintenance and why it’s so expensive. And we’ll hear from you: What’s a road in your town that needs some attention?
Guests:
Carla Short, director, San Francisco Public Works
Jose Fermoso, reporter, Oaklandside - Fermoso road safety and transportation for Oaklandside
Doanh Nguyen, Acting Chief Deputy Director, Caltrans Bay Area Office
John Goodwin, spokesman, Metropolitan Transportation Commission - the transportation planning, coordinating and financing agency for the Bay Area
