Report a pothole in Mission

Why Mission gets potholes

Mission sits inland from Metro Vancouver on the north bank of the Fraser River, and it gets colder and snowier than most of the Lower Mainland. That means persistent freeze-thaw cycling through fall and winter, with elevated areas like College Heights and Hatzic getting hit harder and earlier than the valley floor. The City runs active ice patrols from November through February and keeps roughly 53,000 litres of homemade brine on hand at Public Works, which tells you something about how seriously they take the season. All that temperature cycling is tough on pavement, and it shows.

How to report potholes in Mission

For potholes on city-maintained streets, Mission's official channels are the online Pothole Reporting Form at mission.ca, email to [email protected], or a phone call to the number listed on the City's Road Maintenance page. If the pothole is on a provincial highway (shown in red on the City's road map), that's Emil Anderson Maintenance Co. Ltd. territory, and you'll need to contact them directly through the same page. There's no 311 service or dedicated app for Mission. RoadRot works alongside those channels: you drop a pin on the public map, other drivers can confirm it, and the built-in email-your-rep tool lets you send a complaint directly to your municipal representative with a couple of clicks.

Common questions

Who is responsible for fixing potholes in Mission, BC?

It depends on the road. The City of Mission's Public Works department handles city streets, and you can report issues through their online form or by emailing [email protected]. Provincial highways running through Mission, like Highway 7 (Lougheed Highway), are maintained by Emil Anderson Maintenance Co. Ltd. under contract with the BC Ministry of Transportation and Transit, and you'd contact that contractor directly for those roads.

Does Mission have a 311 service for pothole complaints?

No, Mission doesn't operate a 311 line. Your main options are the City's online Pothole Reporting Form, email to [email protected], or the phone number listed on the Road Maintenance section of mission.ca. For potholes on provincial highways in the area, contact Emil Anderson Maintenance Co. Ltd. directly.

What's the worst time of year for potholes in Mission?

Late winter into early spring is typically the rough stretch. Mission gets more cold and snow than coastal parts of Metro Vancouver, and the repeated freeze-thaw cycling through those months breaks pavement down fast. By the time temperatures start to climb in March and April, roads that looked rough in November can be significantly worse.

How do I make a claim for vehicle damage caused by a pothole in British Columbia?

For damage on a city street, you'd submit a formal claim to the City of Mission, which generally means documenting the pothole location, the date, and your repair costs, then contacting the City directly to ask about their claims process. For damage on a provincial highway, your claim would go to the BC Ministry of Transportation and Transit. ICBC may also be relevant depending on your coverage, so it's worth a call to them as well.

How does RoadRot help with pothole problems in Mission?

RoadRot is a public crowdsourced map where anyone can pin a pothole, rate how bad it is, and optionally add a photo. Other drivers can confirm the same spot, which builds a visible record of the problem. There's also a built-in tool that lets you email your local representative directly about a specific report. RoadRot doesn't forward anything to the City automatically, but a public map with confirmed reports and a direct email to your councillor can create real pressure.
