Monthly potholes & roads requests

How many potholes & roads 311 requests Toronto residents file each month.

How this category is defined

What counts as potholes & roads: Potholes, failing pavement, road resurfacing requests, traffic-control issues, and (in winter cities) snow and ice control for roadways.

In Toronto’s raw 311 data, the following 7 service_type values are counted as potholes & roads:

  • Boulevard Plow Damage
  • Driveway Blocked By Plowed Snowbank
  • Outcome of Service - Complaint - Road Operations
  • Road Plowing Request
  • Road Pothole / Road Damage
  • Road Salting Request
  • Snow Removal - Sightline Problem

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <toronto_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Boulevard Plow Damage',
  'Driveway Blocked By Plowed Snowbank',
  'Outcome of Service - Complaint - Road Operations',
  'Road Plowing Request',
  'Road Pothole / Road Damage',
  'Road Salting Request',
  'Snow Removal - Sightline Problem'
)

Analyst tip: Austin prefixes with 'TPW -' for Transportation and Public Works ('TPW - Pothole Repair', 'TPW - Pavement Failure'). Calgary uses 'Roads -' as its prefix and includes 'Roads - Snow and Ice Control' here — if you're analyzing a Canadian city, expect winter months to dominate this category. Chicago splits 'Alley Pothole Complaint' from 'Pothole in Street Complaint'. NYC uses the single catch-all 'Street Condition'.
