Great Cities Need Great Streets!

Potholes are expensive
Potholes cost your city and constituents tens of thousands of dollars every year especially when using the old, expensive way to repair them!
"There are two essential elements necessary to a strong city: A thriving economy that creates opportunity and pays the bills, and a city government that delivers the core services that improve the quality of our life - safe streets, clean streets, and streets in good repair.”
-Eric Garcetti (Los Angeles Mayor)
The actual material costs in fixing a pothole is only 20% of the entire pothole.
The remaining 80% is in labor and transportation. It cost $1,500 just to get a crew out to the site. Think of all the time and energy wasted to gas up the machines, maintain the equipment, assuring the asphalt mix stays hot, cleaning the potholes, putting the materials down, and hoping it doesn’t come out after the next rain. Oh, and the weather has to be perfect for this method to be applied!
Let me introduce you to the new economical and environmentally friendly way to maintain your roads. Road Soup can reduce your costs using a better product that consists of 97.5% recycled materials!
