Common questions
Who is responsible for fixing potholes in Brandon?
It depends on the road. The City of Brandon's Public Works Department handles maintenance on city streets, roads, and back lanes. Several roads inside city limits, including PTH 1A and parts of Richmond Avenue, are under provincial jurisdiction and maintained by Manitoba's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure instead.
Does Brandon have a 311 service for reporting road issues?
No, Brandon doesn't have 311. For potholes on city streets, use the online form at brandon.ca/potholes or call the 24-hour pothole hotline at 204-729-2200. For provincial roads running through Brandon, call 1-866-626-4862.
When is pothole season worst in Brandon?
Spring is the roughest stretch, when freeze-thaw cycles are at their most frequent and accumulated winter damage shows up all at once. The city runs a street-sweeping program from roughly mid-April to the end of May just to clear out the sand and debris left behind, which gives you a sense of how hard the winter is on Brandon roads.
Can I make a vehicle damage claim if a pothole wrecked my car in Brandon?
You can submit a claim to the City of Brandon if the pothole was on a city-maintained road and you believe the city was negligent in leaving it unaddressed. Claims are generally handled through the city's insurance or legal department, and the bar for success typically involves showing the city knew or should have known about the hazard. A public report on RoadRot with community confirmations can help document that a pothole was visible and reported.
How does RoadRot help with Brandon potholes?
RoadRot is a public crowdsourced map where anyone can pin a pothole, rate how bad it is, and add a photo. Other drivers can confirm the same report, which raises its visibility. If you want to push for a fix, there's a built-in tool that lets you draft and send an email to your municipal or provincial representative about a specific report. RoadRot doesn't forward anything to the city automatically; it's about creating a public record and giving you the tools to act on it.
