SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- South Bend Mayor James Mueller was out helping the road crews patching potholes Thursday morning on Rush Street between Sample Street and Bronson Street.
"You know, there are a lot of issues across the city. But we know our conditions of our streets are top priority for our residents. And it's a top priority for us," Mueller said. "We know what you know, I drive around the same streets as everyone else does. It's awfully annoying. When you hit a pothole when the springtime when it warms up and the street has kind of fallen apart on us."
Road crews say the city patched more than 52,000 potholes in 2023 and 16,000 already in 2023.
"It's critical to make sure people come to and from work to and from medical appointments and wherever else they'd like to go," said Mueller. "Also good for our economy, we need to make sure that we have high rated infrastructure so that businesses want to invest here."
City officials want the public to know that if anyone finds a pothole in need of patching, contact 311 or visit the city's website.
