Watch: Mayor Spano Fills Potholes
Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano today announced the City’s Department of Public Works (DPW) has filled and sealed over 3,200 potholes with 202 tons of blacktop across the City. Since March 2026, Yonkers DPW has attended to 654 lane miles of roads and 450 dead-end streets and cul-de-sacs that have been damaged due to this winter season’s plowing, frigid temperatures and ice. Pothole repairs are expected to continue through May.
“We’re proud of the work our DPW crews are doing, having already filled over 3,200 potholes across Yonkers this season—but we know there’s more to do,” said Mayor Spano. “Keeping our streets safe is a team effort. I encourage every resident to report potholes as soon as they spot them so we can respond quickly and continue improving the quality of our roads.”
Weather permitting, two DPW crews fill approximately 100 potholes each day. In March, DPW crews filled 1,800 potholes and in April, crews filled over 500 potholes to date.
Yonkers DPW Commissioner Thomas Meier stated, “After a long and challenging winter, I’m incredibly proud of the work our DPW crews have accomplished this spring. The heavy snowfall and freeze-thaw cycles took a real toll on our roads, but our teams have been out every day identifying problem areas and filling potholes. We’re not slowing down—our focus remains on delivering safe and smooth streets for our residents.”
This season, the City of Yonkers invested $5 million to resurface nearly 50 roadway sections starting later this month. Repaving is scheduled through September.
As of the first week of April, the City of Yonkers received over 1,600 pothole complaints. Mayor Spano urges residents to continue to report potholes via the Mayor’s Helpline at 914-377-HELP (4357).
