Where are the Biggest, Baddest Potholes Around Oakland Township, Lake Orion?
Here's how to report them so they can be fixed, how to tell your neighbors about them and how to (possibly) get paid back for the damage they cause.
Recent weather has frozen, thawed and cracked the pavement in some places, and melted snow and pouring rain have rearranged the pieces.

And if your vehicle has been damaged by a pothole, a state transportation agency may pay you back.
The Michigan Transportation Team has launched a "Pothole Pocketbook Contest;" through April 5, one randomly selected person each week will win a check to cover the cost of pothole-related repairs. To enter, visit justfixtheroads.com/contest and upload a photo of your repair bill and a photo of the pothole damage.

Oakdell and M24 in Oxford needs to be torn out and redone. Everytime they patch it up, the potholes get worse the next time. Everytime it rains, there is a huge puddle, small lake and can you say skating rink in the winter? Very dangerous when you try to come to a stop and all your car wants to do is slide!
