Yes, it's been like this for ages. A fix is well overdue.

This longstanding defect seems worse in the winter.

We just wanted you to know that we've read your post and have put it into the queue for our foreman to solve.

This issue was recategorized from Uncategorized to Roads and sidewalks • Rues et trottoirs.

Please be advised that this has been forwarded to the Engineering Department for further investigations.

CSL Public Works assigned this issue to Urban Development • Développement urbain

This is a seasonal bump that appears once the frost gets into the subgrade of the road. This location has a recent history of this hump reoccurring. It is not of a serious nature, and will be revisited by the Engineering Department when the asphalt season starts.

As someone who drives on this thing almost every single day I can say that this is completely wrong; this is not seasonal. It's there all year, and just gets worse in the winter. The underside of my car gets hit by this thing regardless of what month we're in, so by postponing this you're just causing more damage to people's vehicles. You should seriously consider not marking this ticket as closed and actually getting someone to fix this thing.

It's also sad to see how little regard the city has for its citizen's property. I consider you causing damage to our cars because you downplay and neglect an issue to definitely be of a "serious nature".

Mr. Catriel,
Thank you for your comments, please be advised that the Public Works Department has sent your comments over to the Engineering Department for further review as road resurfacing would be decided through that department.

CSL Public Works

This has gone on for years. Will it ever be addressed or just continue to be shunted from dept. to dept.?

Sincerely,

He

Its been over a month since the last comment from CSL. Any news on when this is getting permanently fixed?

Mr Catriel,
Thank you for your comments, as previously mentioned this issue will be revisited by the Engineering Department when the asphalt season starts.

Thx, but this still doesn't say much as a "season" could mean anything really. Can you provide an actual date?

The City has been out on a number of occasions to check the actual status of the bump on Guelph WB just west of the traffic lights at McMurray. Road tests at both 30 KPH due to it being a school zone and at 40 KPH 10 miles over the limit; the effect was one of a mild speed hump in one of 2 WB lanes. At this time the City has more serious road surface conditions to deal with and will keep this section of Guelph on watch and should conditions deteriorate to a point that merit repair it will be done.

Its absolutely pathetic to see how damage to our cars because of the city's negligence never enters into your considerations. What are you guys waiting for? For someone's muffler to be torn off and then sue you? Again, I completely disagree with dismissing this issue and closing it off so you can pretty end it never happened. You may not care about my car, but I do, and I refuse to ignore the fact that your road is damaging it. Glad you conducted a road test, but what were your findings? And did you use a regular car or truck (which has higher clearance and is therefore not representative)? There may be more pressing issues, but the current conditions have merited a repair for a very long time, so stop pushing this off.

We're happy to report that we've now fixed this issue.

I fail to see how you determined this is now fixed, as the bump is still there and the asphalt looks completely untouched. Is this just being pushed aside because warmer temperatures reduced the bump a bit? And what happens when this issue worsens (as it has time after time over the years)? Will it get ignored again until warmer temps help out a bit? How about doing his right, finding out what went wrong with the original work in the first place and fixing this properly? Our tax money should definitely be used for this.

Please properly fix the street. Thank you.

The city ended up properly fixing this around the end of July. Thx!

Thanks for fixing this issue!
