​Potholes, Oh My!

7/18/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
Potholes are a result of water penetrating the subsurface of the road through cracks in the asphalt. Water in the underlying soil structure weakens the asphalt so that when vehicles drive over the surface, the roadway cracks into chunks that fall apart and form a pothole.

Santa Rosa City crews repair potholes throughout the year. If it is raining, they use a cold patch mix to fill in the pothole. If there isn't rain in the forecast and the air temperature is warm enough to use hot asphalt, they will either dig out the area and replace it with new asphalt or do a light “skin patch” in the affected area.

If you encounter a pothole within city limits call the Pothole Hotline at (707) 543-3871 anytime day or night or use the My Santa Rosa app on your smartphone. City crews will be dispatched to fill or repair the pothole usually within 24 hours.

For more information on potholes, please visit www.srcity.org/567/Pothole-Repair.

Police: Santa Rosa man jailed after striking man with golf club

A Santa Rosa man was in Sonoma County Jail Monday on suspicion of striking another man with a golf club and critically injuring him. Police say Roderick Anthony Bell, 48, and an unidentified 33-year-old man argued Saturday afternoon near Bell’s Howard Street home near the junior college when Bell chased the man with a golf club. The second man initially ran away, according to a news release from the Santa Rosa Police Department, but as Bell turned toward his home, the other man returned riding a bicycle down the street.

Petaluma police warn of phone scammers pretending to be sheriff's deputies

Phone scammers claiming to be Sonoma County sheriff’s deputies are telling people to pay up or be arrested, according to Petaluma police. A spate of calls from con artists purporting to be representatives of Pacific Gas & Electric was reported by Petaluma police earlier this year. Now, instead of threatening to turn off the lights, scammers are threatening a trip to Sonoma County Jail. The scammers, claiming to be deputies, have told victims that they have outstanding arrest warrants and will be arrested if they don’t purchase “Green Dot” pre-paid credit card and provide them card information over the phone, Petaluma police said.
