"Operation Pothole" underway

 "Operation Pothole," crews were out in force working around the clock over the weekend to repave L.A. streets. They filled about 23,000 potholes, but some say that doesn't even come close to what is needed.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa repaired several potholes in Van Nuys Monday morning. It was an update on the progress of "Operation Pothole." The mayor said potholes are among the top complaints to the city.

That's why the city is trying to repair a large number of potholes in a short time. The mayor said they were able to include enough money in the budget to repair 300,000 potholes.

But officials admit these repairs are still just a Band-Aid. They said the roads are in very bad shape and need a major overhaul.

City officials asked the public to call 311 to report any potholes.
