GVA PotHole..

Hey guys..

I just came home after hitting a pothole (at oak street bridge, just before 99 highway)

I have 19 inch wheels and sadly one of them is bent lol..

Who do I report this to? I don't want to pay anything for this as I feel this is the city's fault. I couldn't even avoid it because there were cars all around me.

I know it'd be good to take pictures of the pot hole but it's basically right before highway so it's kind of difficult.. (many cars) I already took pictures of the bent wheel.

Can anyone who had similar experience help me out?

Thanks a lot.

(note: I was going at speed limit. 60 km/h)

Outside of forums, I never hear GVA. Hasn't it always been GVR or GVRD?

Thanks for the replies guys.. useful or not .

Just an update, I contacted City Hall and they said they're not responsible for most of the bridges. Including Oak Street Bridge. BC ministry of transportation seems to be the one responsible for the bridge roads
