As a daily bike commuter on the lakefront path on and off for years, I've often felt insulted by how long serious life-threatening surface condition problems are allowed to persist. It feels like despite tens of thousands of daily users, we're just those little cyclist people. Meanwhile just a fence-width away on lakeshore drive such dangers would never be left to fester so.
This year in particular though the problems are so egregious and dangerous, some now months old, I felt something had to be said.
I've tried the 311 app for several problems such as a specific huge pothole, and a boulder on the path (too large for one person to move, a construction crew left it there), and gotten "the problem has been resolved" messages back a few days later, with nothing actually done. The boulder one I even resubmitted, and got the same reply again, though it's still there.
I figured next step is contact the appropriate agency directly, but not sure who that is.
Can perhaps an Active Trans rep followup and pester the city on behalf of this lifetime members?
