The city's pothole fixing machine nicknamed "Potzilla" hit the road Thursday, patching some spots.

Potholes are not as big of a problem this year due to the lack of the usual freezing and thawing that comes with a typical New England winter.

City Public Works Commissioner Joanne Massaro says they usually finish patching in March. Since December, Massaro says they have patched 2,500 potholes.
