Pothole And Streetlight Repair Season Underway In 19th Ward

Those potholes and streetlight outages aren’t going to fix themselves. As the seasons change especially after last month’s polar vortex, it may mean that potholes are opening on your street. If you’ve noticed a bad pothole or a streetlight out, report them to the 19th Ward office or 3-1-1 immediately.

When reporting, please be as specific as possible, giving an approximate or exact address. Requests cannot be processed using only an intersection.

If you are reporting a streetlight out, please let the 19th Ward staff know if it is a single light outage or the entire block. Also indicate whether it is a street or alley light.

When reporting potholes, please give an exact address. Also, if the pothole is near a sewer please include that information. Finally, let staff know if the hole is in the traffic or parking lane.

“With your help, we can have these issues addressed as quickly as possible. If you'd like to report a street or alley light out, or request a pothole be repaired,” Ald. Matt O’Shea said in an email to residents.
