Dayton: We need your help to fix potholes

The asphalt plants have opened after shutting down for the winter, and the city of Dayton hopes crews will be out filling potholes and resurfacing streets beginning next week.

Dayton City Commissioners last week approved a nearly $2.2 million contract for asphalt resurfacing for streets in about 13 neighborhoods. This is the city’s first residential paving contract for 2018.

Here is a list of all the residential streets that the city will repave in 2018: list of roads.

Weather permitting, crews will get to work grinding existing asphalt and installing new blacktop on streets in neighborhoods including Fairlane, Five Oaks, Five Points, Grafton Hill, Highview Hills, Old Dayton View, Roosevelt, Southern Dayton View and Wolf Creek.

But citizens who wish to report potholes can use the city's Dayton Delivers app. Citizens can upload photos of the holes on the app. People also can report potholes to the city's call center by calling 937-333-4800.

“Please help us out by letting us know where we have potholes that need attention,” said Shelley Dickstein, Dayton city manager, “and our staff will work to address those as quickly as possible.”
