I'd wager it's not the same "anarchists" that are vandalizing everything.

But it's illegal..

PBOT’s Dylan Rivera acknowledges the huge pothole problem the city has faced this winter, but still says it isn’t safe for citizens to fix them up on their own.


“You shouldn’t try to fix a pothole on a city-maintained street, it’s unsafe for you,” Rivera said. “It could result in a fix that’s unsafe for the public and bring liability to you, personally, if someone were to get hurt.”

This will not end well.

It's dangerous to fill the pothole because it could be unsafe. - Transportation Bureaucrat

PBOT’s Dylan Rivera acknowledges the huge pothole problem the city has faced this winter, but still says it isn’t safe for citizens to fix them up on their own.

“You shouldn’t try to fix a pothole on a city-maintained street, it’s unsafe for you,” Rivera said. “It could result in a fix that’s unsafe for the public and bring liability to you, personally, if someone were to get hurt.”

Instead, PBOT is urging the city to be patient.

“We’re attacking potholes, we’re more than quadrupling the number of staff we have working on pothole repair,” Rivera said. “It’s been a struggle… with the wet weather. This is one of the worst years we’ve had for potholes, without a doubt.”

PBOT is also looking at ways to prevent potholes in the future.

Yeah, you guys like how if you fix it and someone gets hurt you're legally liable... but if THEY fix it and someone gets hurt, they're NOT legally liable?

Who has the greater incentive to fix it properly?

They're anarchists. They wear masks even when fixing potholes. Though this might be a picture of ISIS planting an I.E.D. Tough to tell.

It's a frikken pot hole.

It's a frikken pot hole.

Blasphemous.

Only those Ordained by Government may fill a hole up.

Just imagine if someone did a poor job and the pot hole remained the same as it was.

Though I like the idea folks on FB were also advocating Wanksy do his artistic thing to get the city motivated. I would approve.

Something very bad could happen to you, indeed.

 

[TheTexan]

Typical anarchist publicity stunt.

I would also note, that anarchists fixing roads, is such a rare event, it's apparently worthy of its own thread.

Wow, anarchists use cones? Smacks of OSHA to me.

Regardless, I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE.
