Description

Whitney Avenue from Willow Street to Cottage Street was dug up last fall for utility work. The construction crew then repaved the trench they had created, for nearly a two-block stretch of Whitney. The new asphalt is very uneven, forcing bicyclists to ride closer to the middle of the road, where they're in danger of being hit by a car or truck. When spring comes, the City should repave this trench to make it as smooth as the road. (Either the City or a contractor did some rudimentary patching of the worst sections, but the patching made the street bumpier and more dangerous for cyclists.)
