Description
There is a very large pothole here, about 36" long by about 18" wide. This spot also quickly fills with water when it rains, hiding the pothole. It has been growing recently with the onset of Winter. There is going to be a head-on collision between someone traveling south on Woodlow, trying to avoid the pothole, and someone turning from westbound Shelby to northbound Woodlow.

FOR QUICKEST RESPONSE, REPORT POTHOLES DIRECTLY TO RCOC
Beverly Hills, Mich. — The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) asks residents and motorists to contact the agency directly to report potholes and other road safety issues.
"Several Websites now encourage motorists to post road safety concerns,” noted RCOC Managing Director Brent Bair. “However, these sites do not share these complaints directly with the road commission."
If pothole complaints are called or e-mailed directly to the Road Commission, they are addressed as expediently as possible. Residents can contact RCOC’s Department of Customer Service directly via phone (toll free) at 877-858-4804 or through the Road Commission’s Website, www.rcocweb.org (click on the “contact us” button).
The Department of Customer Services is staffed weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. The best way to report a non-emergency problem after hours is to file a report at the RCOC Website. For emergencies during non-business hours, contact the RCOC dispatch office at 248-858-4895.
"We take the safety of motorists seriously," Bair said. "The best way to have a concern addressed on the county road and bridge network is by directly contacting the Road Commission. When using alternate methods to report potholes, there is often an unnecessary delay leading to additional frustration and potential damage to
vehicles."

No way just a bag of sand will do it, this thing would take a yard of sand to fill. It's got to be a foot deep at the deepest part.

This is not a good way to let us know. As noted below, for the quickest response, please contact the Road Commission directly (877-858-4804 or www.rcocweb.org). We are not able to check this site, or the thousand other sites like it, on a regular basis.
Thank you.
