Thank you for your cooperation and support.

The potholes have gotten worse...they are massive! Only benefit is that cars are taking the right turn off of Chestnut onto 23rd very slowly and give space for any bikes who can brave these grand canyons in the road which the cars in turn avoid by turning wide. That said, these potholes are huge and are an embarrassment to the city. Let's get a photo up here.

There have been catastrophic potholes here since I started biking in the city four years ago. Something really needs to be done.

I don't even need to see this to vote for it. This city would benefit so much from a better bike lane system. Not just for the bikers, but for drivers and pedestrians alike.

Jay - the potholes have been filled and the situation is now much better. You still have to watch out for cars turning right, but I don't know what can be done about that. The bike crossover lane at 29th and Chestnut has its own serious issues, see

I have come closer to being hit in the crossover lane than I ever have at the 23rd st intersection
