Tired of plowing your vehicle through crater sized potholes in the mean streets of Tucson? Someone started a wordpress photo blog that exposes potholes around town. “Help hold Tucson City Council accountable for the potholes on Tucson’s roads” is the blog’s slogan. Tucson Potholes encourages you to email pictures of potholes and the locations.
A picture blog says a thousand words, but a meeting with Tucson Council could be more effect:
On March 4th we will be heading over to Tucson City Council to make a speech about the importance of fixing the potholes seen around Tucson. Support us by sending in pictures, stories, or facts you would like us to tell City Council.

These GIANT potholes are killing my new tires on 2 new vehicles, tucson city council should be held accountable… T-town so pathetic!
All of Grant Road from Oracle Road to Swan is particularly TERRIBLE.
Although no picture, Euclid from Broadway to Speedway is in very bad condition. Also Roger from Oracle to 1st Ave is also bad.
Oh please. If the City of Tucson was doing its job none of this blogging would be necessary. Public asphalt roads have been around for 150 years and only recently has it been up to the citizens to participate in the planned maintenance of the these vital transportation arteries. For years designated road maintenance revenues (gas taxes etc.) have been siphoned off for pet social projects. Recent case in point, 200 million dollars for a few miles of idiotic trolley track could have been used to fix more than a few potholes.
