Brendan,

I have entered ticket 176302 with the DPW for the potholes on Willow Ave.

Thank you,
Kimberly

Some of the potholes on Willow Ave have been filled, but the job is so sloppy it has left a gauntlet of shallow holes and lumps in the bike area, and cyclists are still forced into the middle of the street to avoid bike damage.

The bike lane of this street is still barely passable. I know the whole street is to be repaved in the future, but it's taking too long and people ride this route all day, every day. Repaint the bike lane on southern Willow, and scrape/refill the road on northern Willow. It's only fair to those of us who cruise zero combustion style.

Pathetic.

Repeated patches by the notably sloppy SDPW have made a bad situation worse on Willow.

Fully concur with the other comments. As a cyclist, I ride on Willow quite frequently when I'm coming home from Harvard Sq/Porter Sq. I'm forced to either ride dangerously close to the parked cars or go towards the center of the road. This then outrages drivers behind me, and it's an incredibly unsafe situation. Parked cars on one side, aggressive drivers behind me, and (unevenly patched) potholes underneath.

Willow Ave has been resurfaced! Yaaay!
