In our coverage of the dangerous light poles being found around the Hill and the rest of the city we also mentioned a giant pothole at the intersection of Aloha and 13th that was so deep and so destructive that neighbors and victims had taken to stacking dislodged hubcaps alongside the road in warning to all that danger lurked. We talked to one neighbor who also took the problem of eliminating the menace into her own hands — she called the Pothole Rangers. Today, that pothole is patched.

Of course, down and up Aloha and on almost every major (and minor) street in the area, the cracks, crevasses and craters are cropping up. The SDOT crew that repaired the 13th/Aloha hole must have driven over several others to get there. So, here’s what you need to do make sure the city’s Pothole Rangers make the streets near you safe for everybody. Report early, report often. Also, if you know of a particularly nasty ‘hole, let us know about it in comments so we can check in on the Rangers’ battle.
