San Bruno welcomes new pothole patch truck to boost street repairs
Summary
A pothole patch truck approved by the San Bruno City Council in 2021 has arrived, can carry 1.8 tons of hot-mix asphalt, and is designed to operate with a two-person crew, a speaker identified only as Ted said.
A pothole patch truck that the San Bruno City Council approved in 2021 has arrived and will be used on the city's roughly 89 centerline miles of pavement, a speaker who identified himself only as Ted said.
Ted said the truck "has the ability to carry 1.8 tons of hot mix asphalt as well as all the tools necessary to perform lasting pothole patchwork while utilizing a crew of only two." The speaker said city staff have improved how they track and respond to potholes and worked to increase repair output and efficiency ahead of the vehicle's deployment.
The announcement credited Measure G for making the purchase possible. "Thank you to the voters in this community who passed Measure G that made this possible," Ted said.
The statement did not include a schedule for deployment or the speaker's full name or title. The city described the truck's arrival as a step toward more efficient pothole repairs; no formal council action or vote occurred during the announcement.
The city maintains about 89 centerline miles of pavement within San Bruno city limits, according to the speaker, and the new equipment is intended to help staff address those needs with a smaller crew and the hot-mix material needed for longer-lasting patches.
