This is happening on 11th Avenue also. Although there is no bike lane there, the city literally just repaved this street at most a year or so ago. Why can't they fix the underground stuff like this before they waste a bunch of money tearing up fresh pavement? The repair will never be as good as the original paving job.
Same as when the city grinds off painted stripes and re-does them. The ground-off areas turn into giant cracks within 3 years. This happened all over Webster after it was re-paved then re-striped for bike lanes. It caused huge cracks right in the middle of the bike lane. Incompetent planning work.

I have to partially retract my comment about 11th Ave trenching and repaving. Today there was a crew repaving one entire side of the street to restore the condition to what it was before it was trenched. This is after a couple of interim patch jobs. They did a nice job and I can't comment on why it needed to be torn up so soon after it had been done last time, but whatever. I guess things happen?
Still, all this underground work should be done before a major paving project is done, because the crew that spent several days redoing this block could have been working on other streets that haven't been paved in decades.
