Report a pothole in Port Moody

Why Port Moody gets potholes

Port Moody sits where moist air off Burrard Inlet meets cold downslope winds from the mountains, and that combination produces freeze-thaw cycles that are hard on pavement. Ground freezes an estimated 24 to 39 days a year, concentrated in shaded cul-de-sacs and the steep hillside roads of Heritage Mountain and College Park. Every time a road freezes, thaws, and freezes again, water works deeper into cracks and the surface breaks apart faster than it would on flat coastal ground.

How to report potholes in Port Moody

The City of Port Moody handles its own roads through its Engineering department, and the official way to flag a problem is through the "Report a Problem" pathway on the city's roads and transportation page at portmoody.ca/resident-services/roads-traffic-and-construction, or by calling 604-469-4500. Port Moody doesn't have a dedicated 311 line or a standalone pothole app, so that general form is your main option for city-maintained streets. For potholes on provincial routes like the Barnet Highway (Hwy 7A) or Highway 7, those roads are maintained by Mainroad Lower Mainland Contracting on behalf of the BC Ministry of Transportation, and you'd report through the province's own system. RoadRot sits alongside those channels: you drop a pin here to make the problem publicly visible, other drivers can confirm it, and if you want to add pressure you can use the built-in email tool to send a message directly to your municipal or provincial representative yourself.

Common questions

Who is responsible for fixing potholes in Port Moody?

It depends on which road you're on. The City of Port Moody maintains local streets and sidewalks through its Engineering department. Provincial routes like the Barnet Highway and Highway 7 are maintained by Mainroad Lower Mainland Contracting under contract with the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Does Port Moody have a 311 service for pothole reports?

No, Port Moody doesn't operate a 311 line. Your best bet for city roads is the "Report a Problem" form at portmoody.ca or a direct call to city hall at 604-469-4500. For provincial highways through the city, use the BC Ministry of Transportation's reporting system.

When is pothole season worst in Port Moody?

Late winter into early spring is typically the roughest stretch. That's when the ground finishes its last freeze-thaw cycles of the season and the damage done over winter becomes fully visible. Steep hillside roads in areas like Heritage Mountain tend to take a harder hit because they see more shading and more repeated freezing.

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

In BC, ICBC handles vehicle damage claims, and you can report a road hazard claim through them directly. You'd also want to document the pothole with photos and note the exact location and date. Filing a report with the responsible road authority (city or province) at the same time creates a paper trail that can support your claim.

What does RoadRot actually do with my Port Moody pothole report?

Your report goes onto a public map where other drivers in Port Moody can see it and confirm it, which increases its visibility and priority ranking. RoadRot doesn't forward anything to the city automatically, but there's a built-in email tool you can use to send a message to your municipal or provincial representative yourself, with the report details attached.
