TL;DR

The "giant pothole" that Arnold Schwarzenegger said he recently filled on a street in his Los Angeles neighborhood was actually a trench that had been dug for utility work, according to the city. Southern California Gas Co. had covered the trench with temporary asphalt that was to be replaced with a permanent surface. The utility's crews returned to the site on Wednesday, a day after Schwarzenegger posted his video, and leveled off the patch he'd completed to make it stronger.
