The freezing and thawing season has officially begun and it isn't just annoying for your walks on sidewalks turned into ice rinks. The roads are taking a major beating and will soon be completely taken over by enormous holes just waiting for unsuspecting drivers. It causes bumpy rides and serious damage if you aren't careful.
So what can you do about it? Join the pothole police and report them to the best agency to fix it. Read below for the best places to complain in hopes of seeing a quick fix. Don't expect the problem to actually be solved, but at least you'll feel better about yourself.
If you are unfamiliar with the creation of potholes, the
Minnesota Department of Transportation has some good information and videos.
