DAYTON -- Now that the snow storm is done, Dayton city crews are hitting the streets trying to repair the damage left behind by mother nature.
"All over town there's a lot of potholes that need to be repaired," Frederick Meacham is frustrated by the craters that are forming on Dayton's streets.
He's also worried about the damage they can cause, "Knock your car out of line bust you front tire if you take a big hit."
So we went straight to the city to find out what they're doing about it.
"We have patch crews out every day," said Jim Brinegar, Manager for Dayton's Department of Public Works.
He says crews hit the streets after a big storm like Wednesday's and all throughout the season to keep them under control.
We also found out how they pick which potholes to start with.
According to Brinegar, crews start on the main roads, and once those are filled in, they then move on to residential streets.
But if the hole is large and dangerous to drivers, crews will get out there a lot sooner.
"We do follow up on all the calls and try to prioritize them on size and depth and hazard," said Brinegar.
In fact if it's bad enough, the city will send a crew that night to patch up the hole.
If there's a pothole in your neighborhood call the City of Dayton at (937) 333-4800.
