Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works continues its innovative “Potholepalooza” street repair pilot program in Commission Districts 6 and 10

Miami-Dade County’s Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) continues its successful “Potholepalooza” street repair pilot program in Miami-Dade County Commission Districts 6 and 10, from now until June 15. The innovative program, which addresses and accelerates pothole repairs with the help of residents, was launched last year and has resulted in nearly 1,000 potholes repaired within eight County Districts in just seven months.

“As we continue the “Potholepalooza” program in districts 6 and 10, we’re demonstrating our commitment to safer streets and more efficient infrastructure,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “Potholes can be more than just a nuisance; they are potential safety hazards that we are addressing in innovative ways, together with the help of our residents.”

Potholes often appear during rainy weather and while minor repairs can be accomplished relatively quickly, major repairs or reconstruction may have to be scheduled. Some potholes may have to be added to resurfacing plans on a future date if simple repairs are not possible.

"Potholepalooza is a great program that is not just about street repair. It’s about shaping the future we want for our district,” said Vice Chairman Anthony Rodriguez. “Each reported pothole is a call for better infrastructure, safer streets, and a commitment to the well-being of our neighborhoods. I want to thank the Department of Transportation and Public Works for working with my team and bringing Potholepalooza to District 10, and I encourage residents to report potholes or other street issues within our community!"

“Potholes pose serious hazards for drivers, and I’m committed to getting them fixed as soon as possible,” said Miami-Dade County District 6 Commissioner Kevin Marino Cabrera. “This program not only addresses these issues but helps us get the community involved."

The Potholepalooza pilot program only works if potholes are reported. Please help report any potholes or other street issues by calling 311 or 305-468-5900. Residents can also complete this form or download the 311 Direct app. Providing as much information as possible ensures DTPW can locate each pothole. Upon receipt of the report, the County will make every effort to make the repair within seven days. This program will continue to other commission districts and is slated to be completed within 16 months.
