The City of Victoria says it's using a new AI tool to help locate potholes on local streets.

The new "pothole finder software" is part of a pilot program that helps identify damage along all 279 kilometres of the city's paved roadways."Last year we paved more than any other year in the city’s history and are set to pave even more in 2023," said Philip Bellefontaine, Victoria director of engineering and public works.

"Potholes occur when asphalt is weakened by the freezing and thawing of water in the roads and cracks under the weight of moving traffic," said the municipality in a release Monday. "Whether you cycle, take the bus or drive, safe, resilient and quality roads are a priority for the city," said Bellefontaine.

Finding them is DEFINITELY not the problem. We’ve been asking the city for like a solid year for them to fix the dozen or more potholes on our block. They came once and threw some gravel & fill in them that started washing out after the next rain.
