Potholes & Street Repair
The Street Maintenance Division attempts to repair potholes on streets as soon as they become a problem. Alleys are lower priority and are repaired as workload permits. Please use the Report a Concern feature on the website to request pothole and street repairs, as well as other service requests. You may also call the Service Center at (937) 525-5800.

The Service Department would like to remind residents that leaves should not be raked into the street or gutter.

Snow Removal
The Service Department is responsible for ice control and snow removal on all public streets in the City of Springfield. The City’s goal is to have all arterial and collector streets cleared within 12 hours after the end of the storm.

Questions may be directed to the Service Center at (937) 525-5800.
The City’s Snow Route GIS Map depicts streets throughout the City that have been given priority designations: A, B and Residential. The priorities are established by consideration of traffic volumes and the maintenance of essential functions. Criteria considered are State routes, Federal routes, streets to hospitals, bus routes, high volume streets, schools, fire stations, railroad crossings, signalized intersections, bridges, hills and curves.
