A neighborhood in New Orleans did this. Shut down traffic for a day to throw the thing a block party.
The city said, “haha guys ok, bet you won’t do it again.”
The next year they had an even bigger birthday party for the pot hole. Disrupted even more traffic. Local bakery donated cake.
The city caved and fixed the road.
If you cannot get things fixed by following the rules, be as bombastic as you need to be.
Very effective method of getting the city to fix potholes? Spray paint dicks around them.
Not kidding.
The city often has funds earmarked to remove graffiti, especially graffiti ‘of a salacious nature’, and if you make the pothole into graffiti, they can use those funds to fix it. Move it from a Dept of Transit problem to a Dept. of Public Works problem.
