I'd wager it's not the same "anarchists" that are vandalizing everything.

But it's illegal..



PBOT’s Dylan Rivera acknowledges the huge pothole problem the city has faced this winter, but still says it isn’t safe for citizens to fix them up on their own.


“You shouldn’t try to fix a pothole on a city-maintained street, it’s unsafe for you,” Rivera said. “It could result in a fix that’s unsafe for the public and bring liability to you, personally, if someone were to get hurt.”

It's dangerous to fill the pothole because it could be unsafe. - Transportation Bureaucrat


PBOT’s Dylan Rivera acknowledges the huge pothole problem the city has faced this winter, but still says it isn’t safe for citizens to fix them up on their own.

“You shouldn’t try to fix a pothole on a city-maintained street, it’s unsafe for you,” Rivera said. “It could result in a fix that’s unsafe for the public and bring liability to you, personally, if someone were to get hurt.”

Instead, PBOT is urging the city to be patient.

“We’re attacking potholes, we’re more than quadrupling the number of staff we have working on pothole repair,” Rivera said. “It’s been a struggle… with the wet weather. This is one of the worst years we’ve had for potholes, without a doubt.”

PBOT is also looking at ways to prevent potholes in the future.

Yeah, you guys like how if you fix it and someone gets hurt you're legally liable... but if THEY fix it and someone gets hurt, they're NOT legally liable?

Who has the greater incentive to fix it properly?

A Porn Website Says It Will Plow Snow in Boston for FreePornhub is sending out branded plow trucks to help during Tuesday’s storm.

...
Pledging to assist anyone who “wants to get plowed,” the adult entertainment site says it is sending out a fleet of branded trucks to clean the city’s streets and parking lots for free.

They're anarchists. They wear masks even when fixing potholes. Though this might be a picture of ISIS planting an I.E.D. Tough to tell.

Blasphemous.

Only those Ordained by Government may fill a hole up.

Just imagine if someone did a poor job and the pot hole remained the same as it was.

On February 28th the group wrote:

Successful preliminary action today. We patched 5 potholes on SE Salmon, between 37th and 39th. We will observe them over the following days and weeks to see how lasting our patches are.
Thanks everyone for their support!

Something very bad could happen to you, indeed.

Typical anarchist publicity stunt.

I would also note, that anarchists fixing roads, is such a rare event, it's apparently worthy of its own thread.

Wow, anarchists use cones? Smacks of OSHA to me.

Regardless, I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE.

My thoughts exactly. I can't begin to fathom the array of licenses and permits they failed to acquire. I wonder how many of them are open-carrying while working (surprisingly legal in OR)?

Anarchists, by definition, have no idea how to fix roads. They probably just made it worse.

The government's just gonna have to dig up the hole and fill it up again, to make it right.
