Where are the Biggest, Baddest Potholes Around Fenton?
Here's how to report them so they can be fixed, how to tell your neighbors about them and how to (possibly) get paid back for the damage they cause.
Recent weather has frozen, thawed and cracked the pavement in some places, and melted snow and pouring rain have rearranged the pieces.
Help friends and neighbors in Fenton avoid the big ones by locating the offending holes on the map above (just hit the "Add" button).
And if your vehicle has been damaged by a pothole, a state transportation agency may pay you back.
The Michigan Transportation Team has launched a "Pothole Pocketbook Contest;" through April 5, one randomly selected person each week will win a check to cover the cost of pothole-related repairs. To enter, visit justfixtheroads.com/contest and upload a photo of your repair bill and a photo of the pothole damage.

N. Oak St between 4th and 6th Sts. It is a giant pothole. Then further down on N. Oak between 6th and 9th there is a reverse speed bump! The road has just sunk. They come and look and fill some holes on Sixth but ignore the rest because they don't have enough patch to fix it.

Since we don't have timely articles on Fenton Patch since Jason Alexander left, if you need to report a pothole within the city of Fenton limits, call City Hall at 629-2261and give the information.

Second Street between Lemen and Center is horrid. A few years ago, they " repaved" it, but did such a shoddy job with that cold patch, that they were making repairs within a few months. It should have been totally torn up and paved. Most of Michigan's roads would last much longer if they used a better quality product like they do in many European countries. Initially more expensive, it will become cost- effective in the
long- run.
