Report a pothole in Greenview No. 16

Why Greenview No. 16 gets potholes

Greenview No. 16 covers over 32,000 km² of boreal forest, Peace Country, and Rocky Mountain foothills, and the climate is hard on roads in every season. The real damage happens in spring and fall, when temperatures swing repeatedly across the freezing mark. Pavement that freezes, thaws, and refreezes loses its structural integrity fast, and Greenview's transitional seasons are exactly that kind of punishment. On top of the climate, heavy oil and gas truck traffic runs year-round on both provincial highways and local range roads, accelerating the wear that freeze-thaw cycles start.

How to report potholes in Greenview No. 16

The MD of Greenview No. 16 doesn't have a 311 line, a dedicated pothole app, or a specific online pothole form. Your best bet is the Construction & Engineering department at the MD's main office in Valleyview. You can submit a Road Construction Request through mdgreenview.ab.ca or call the office directly. For issues on provincial highways like Highway 43, Highway 40, or Highway 49, those roads are Alberta Transportation's responsibility and you can report through 511 Alberta. RoadRot sits alongside all of that: you can drop a pin on a specific pothole, let other drivers confirm it, and use the built-in email tool to send a complaint directly to your municipal or provincial representative. The report is public, which creates its own kind of pressure.

Common questions

Who is responsible for fixing potholes in the MD of Greenview No. 16?

It depends on which road you're on. Range roads, township roads, and hamlet streets (including in Grande Cache and Valleyview-area communities) are the MD of Greenview's responsibility, handled by their Construction & Engineering department. Provincial highways like Highway 43, 40, and 49 fall under Alberta Transportation.

Does the MD of Greenview No. 16 have a 311 service?

No. Greenview is a rural municipality and doesn't operate a 311 line. To report a road issue, contact the MD directly through mdgreenview.ab.ca or by phone at their Valleyview office.

When is pothole season in Greenview No. 16?

Spring is the worst stretch. As the ground thaws, road bases soften and pavement that held together all winter starts to break apart under traffic. The MD even enforces formal spring load restrictions (road bans) to limit damage during this period, which tells you how serious the thaw risk is. Fall's back-and-forth freezing can reopen cracks that formed earlier in the year.

How do I claim vehicle damage caused by a pothole in Alberta?

You'd need to contact the road authority responsible for that road, either the MD of Greenview or Alberta Transportation, and file a formal claim. Keep records: photos of the pothole, photos of the damage, the date, the road name or GPS location, and any repair receipts. Claims aren't guaranteed to succeed, but documentation is what makes them possible.

Does Grande Cache have its own road maintenance now?

Not separately. The former Town of Grande Cache was dissolved in January 2019 and became a hamlet under the MD of Greenview. That means the MD's Public Works and Construction & Engineering department now handles what used to be a town's street network, so Grande Cache road issues go through the same MD contact channels as everywhere else in Greenview.
