Tell me more about...Potholes
In this episode of Tell Me More, we’re going to talk about a topic that has drivers gripping their steering wheels a little tighter and cyclists checking their tire repair kits at this time of year….potholes. While potholes might seem like they appear over night, we’ll learn from Adam McDonald and Amy Dimock, two members of the City of Kingston Public Works team, why it seems like there more pot holes in the spring, how climate change and Kingston’s beautiful lakeside location create challenges for road maintenance and opportunities for innovation and with the help of AI and residents, potholes are being detected and more importantly repaired faster than ever.
