Then we have new construction all over the city, big a** projects and the city isn't requiring them to bury the utility lines.
I think any project that goes over a certain height or takes over a whole block needs to bury the lines PERIOD.
We have had this conversation before on here and the city just need to make a commission that will actually get it done and get some shit working together.

a properly done patch will not lead to a pothole. A pothole is caused when water gets into cracks in pavement. Utility work can happen for a lot of reasons and much of it is unplanned- you will never be able to guarantee a recently paved street isnt opened up for a utility repair.
