The City of Cleveland has twelve to sixteen crews working to fill potholes in the City’s approximately 10,200 main and residential streets. To lessen the inconvenience to residents, city crews utilize automated patch mobile units to expedite repairs. Approximately 3000 tons of material is used annually to fill potholes.
When holes are fixed in the winter, the material used is only a temporary fix until spring. In warmer months a hot asphalt mixture is used, which permanently repairs the hole.
Vehicle damage can be reported to the Department of Law Moral Claims Division at 216.664.2671. Claimants will be required to fill out claim forms. The Law Department will review the claim and determine if the claimant is entitled to reimbursement for damages.
Other Holes in the Street
Utility cuts are rectangular excavations in the road made by utility companies to reach underground lines. Contractors are responsible for temporarily filling the cuts. Upon completion of the work, the city makes a permanent repair.
Cave-ins or sinkholes are deep holes that reach past the concrete base of the street. This occurs when the dirt below the street has washed away, causing the road to cave in.

The goal of the City’s Automated Traffic Enforcement program is to reduce traffic violations and, as a result, decrease crashes, prevent injuries, and save lives. By law, thirty days before a Cleveland traffic camera is fully operational, an advisory is issued to the general public. Once the camera is in use, there is a period of two weeks during which only warning notices are issued. Drivers are encouraged to adhere to driving laws and to observe traffic signs and signals. Radar equipment can detect a vehicle exceeding the speed limit or running a red light. The date, speed, location and tag number are recorded and a notice is mailed to the vehicle’s registered owner.
