He cautions, however, that the fixes are temporary and that permanent ones will have to wait for the "drier, warmer weather" that Oregonians know will return. Eventually.
In the meantime, he says, if you see traffic cones and road crews, "please slow down" to help keep the crews safe.
The city also has a web page set up where people can report potholes and other nuisances.
