Mayor de Blasio Filling Potholes in Maspeth

Here’s your latest Queens Twitter news: Mayor Bill de Blasio and DOT Commissioner Trottenberg are now filling potholes in Maspeth. It is part of a plan, announced today, that includes “weekly pothole blitzes,” citywide targeted repaving, material enhancements, better roadway maintenance and impact prevention. The DOT hopes to resurface 1,000 lane miles by the summer to prevent more potholes from forming. They’ve already filled a record-breaking 113,131 potholes this year.

Apparently the pothole patrol caused quite a stir earlier today in Queens:
