Sporty. Ha!

I put a 311 request in today since if anything it is getting worse! Finding that narrow ribbon of pavement as cars pass on the right and on the left is quite sporty!

They've become worse over the past few days here...the small deep ones are now connecting to make larger potholes...

Yes, that is the sporty part! I did not go that way today--obviously they have not acted on my 311 request yet.

I took Hubbard from Noble to Green. Hubbard eastbound is quite a mess, but I would have to report the whole street.

They did some sewer repair on Cornelia, W of the Target and patched it quite shoddily in November/December. Now, as one would expect with the freeze/thaw cycles that we have had, it is impassable in a car without ruining your suspension (and only slightly better on a bike). They seem in no hurry to do anything to remedy the situation.

Also...a little off topic...

With the snow thaw, has anyone started counting the protected bike lane plastic poles that are no longer where they should be? I swear I spotted close to thirty yesterday along Kinzie and Milwaukee on the street/bike lane/sidewalk. I really wondered what's going to happen with them, but I'm sure they'll end up in the trash somewhere.
