Patch the potholes.

The paved alley behind the 3400 block of 4th Avenue has several potholes that catch bike tires and pool stormwater between rains, but the city's pothole list has never had this alley on it.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

before/after photos of each pothole + materials note

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• right-of-way permit + cones, barricades and signage for a compliant work zone
• cold-patch asphalt or the specified repair mortar, plus bonding agent
• grinder or saw with a water feed or vacuum shroud (respirable silica control)
• tamper or plate compactor, trowels, screed
• smart level or 2-ft level + straightedge + tape measure
• respirator, eye and hearing protection, gloves
• camera + GPS phone

Steps

1. 1. ASSESS: photograph the defect as found and measure it (vertical discontinuity, ponding depth, spall area, cross slope); record the numbers before touching anything.
2. 2. Set the work zone: cones, barricades and a maintained pedestrian detour; confirm the right-of-way permit and, for anything cut into the ground, the honored 811 locate.
3. 3. Square up and clean the repair area, removing loose and unsound material back to a sound edge; run every cut or grind wet or under vacuum, never dry.
4. 4. Place the repair material in the specified lifts, compacting or consolidating each lift, and finish to match the surrounding grade and the drainage direction.
5. 5. VERIFY: straightedge and level the finished patch, confirming vertical discontinuity at or under 1/4 in and cross slope at or under 2 percent; record both readings.
6. 6. Photograph the finished repair from the before vantage, log the permit reference and the cure or reopen time, and enter them in the proof record.

What counts as done

• Before photo of each pothole with a ruler for depth
• After photo of the compacted cold-patch fill level with the surrounding pavement
• Materials note (cold-patch asphalt mix, tamper passes)

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Civic Safety Reporting. Civic safety is the craft of noticing for your neighbors: the burned-out light over a dark corner, the sidewalk lip waiting to trip someone, the overgrown hedge hiding a crosswalk. This standard is documentation and coordination only, no repairs: see the hazard clearly, grade how serious it is, record it with a photo and a place, and route it to the people with the authority to fix it. Mastery looks like a neighborhood where problems are found while they are still small. This packet is one clear-eyed report, and one clear report is how every fix begins.
