Every one has a horror story about that awful, bumpy neighborhood road full of potholes they can’t stand. You know the one. But we want to know about it, too.

Some parts of Miami-Dade County — like Opa-locka — have crater-ridden roads that for years have been neglected by city officials. For Northwest 141st Street, things are so bad that rideshare apps like Uber won’t even go near it.

How bad are the roads in your neighborhood? We want to hear all about your experience at the form below. Is it on your way to work, has it messed up your car, do you avoid it all costs? If you’ve complained to folks in charge of maintaining the road, tell us how they responded, too — help us hold local city officials accountable.
