There hasn't been a post about potholes here for quite a while. This one is decidedly low-tech.
Fed up with potholes in your city? Just give them access to Twitter. @Monteneggroll explains: http://t.co/XaV4J5sb8q pic.twitter.com/5tAH6NaNVQ

@FastCompany returns to the pothole theme.I'm intrigued by the willingness of Canada to encorage drivers to report potholes by offering a reporting championship. Mostly I wonder how to encourage the same kind of engagement with citizens in Fairfax County, Virginia. Most of the time when I report a road problem here, the reponse I usually get is VDOT is reponsible (AKA it's not my problem. And VDOT is the most unresponsive agency I can name!).
