The worst are up first as the city of Cleveland tackles the pothole problem, one street at a time.
The city received hundreds of complaint claims last year, but this year officials said they're down.
Seventy Cleveland streets will be resurfaced through the Residential Resurfacing Project.
Dan Ball, with the City of Cleveland, told NewsChannel 5 potholes are at the top of the docket right now, but this year's mild winter weather provided some relief.
"When we have less snowfall, less plows, we see less potholes, so the mild winter has helped us," Ball said.
Last year, Cleveland spent about $7.3 million fixing up 80 residential streets. This year, Ball said the city is working with a $10 million budget.
They're doing more than filling holes. This project will completely resurface the 70 roads chosen by the city by grinding them down, and smoothing them out.
With about 50,000 visitors expected in the city this summer for the Republican National Convention, Ball told NewsChannel 5 the city wanted to get crews on the roads as soon as possible.
"Definitely with the RNC this summer, we want to see less orange barrels," he said.
