Report a pothole in Revelstoke

Why Revelstoke gets potholes

Revelstoke sits where Pacific moisture slams into the Columbia Mountains, and the result is some of the heaviest snowfall in Canada, the town averages nearly 400 cm a year. That snow and the repeated freezing and thawing that follows, including during mild spells mid-winter, is what tears pavement apart. The city's own Public Works manager has said publicly that more freeze-thaw cycles create more road condition problems, and the patching budget has grown to keep up.

How to report potholes in Revelstoke

The City of Revelstoke asks residents to report potholes through the SeeClickFix app or by calling Public Works directly at 250-837-2001. There's no 311 number in Revelstoke. If your pothole is on a provincial highway like the Trans-Canada or Highway 23, that's a separate authority: call the BC Ministry of Transportation's Revelstoke Area Office at 250-837-8400. RoadRot adds a public layer on top of all that, you can pin a pothole here so the community can confirm it, which builds a visible record, and if you want to push harder, the email-your-rep tool lets you send a message directly to your local representative yourself.

Common questions

Who is responsible for fixing potholes in Revelstoke?

City streets, lanes, and sidewalks are the responsibility of Revelstoke's Public Works department. Provincial highways in and around town, including the Trans-Canada and Highway 23, are maintained by private contractors on behalf of the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Does Revelstoke have a 311 number for pothole complaints?

No, Revelstoke doesn't have a 311 line. For city street issues, call Public Works at 250-837-2001 or submit a report through the SeeClickFix app. For highway issues, contact the BC Ministry of Transportation's Revelstoke Area Office at 250-837-8400.

When is pothole season in Revelstoke?

Spring is the worst, as snowmelt and warming temperatures accelerate the freeze-thaw cycle that fractures pavement. But with Revelstoke's heavy snowfall and winters that include warm spells, potholes can develop mid-winter too. The city typically does its main round of patching after the snow clears.

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

You'd need to file a claim with ICBC for the vehicle damage, and separately pursue the road authority (city or province, depending on which road) for reimbursement, which generally requires showing they knew or should have known about the pothole. Documenting the location with photos and a dated report, like a pin on RoadRot, can help establish that a record existed.

Does RoadRot report potholes to the City of Revelstoke automatically?

No. RoadRot is a public map where anyone can drop a pin and the community can confirm reports, which creates visible pressure. If you want to contact your representative directly, RoadRot's email-your-rep tool helps you do that yourself. For an official repair request, you still need to contact Public Works at 250-837-2001 or use SeeClickFix.
