I finally got a chance to check this and the pot hole is patched but not a very good job.

This intersection needs crosswalks and modern crossing light system on all four sides! It is an official bike route, and is extremely dangerous for anyone crossing.

Hi Skip,

Glad to hear that they got to it eventually. Every spring and summer local public works departments have to spend a lot of time repairing road damage from plowing, frost heaves, and wear and tear from vehicles. They obviously missed that one for a while but if the problem returns each year it sounds like the intersection may have a design flaw.

Maybe someone from public works is reading and might share his/her thoughts?

ROC, that's also good info because if bicyclists are giving the intersection a lot of use, there's certainly an additional safety issue if that section is crumbling. The crosswalk issue could be the town's responsibility, or it could be the state's.

I'll do some digging to see if I can find out on Monday.

I drive this intersection multiple times a day on my workdays. The poor road quality is really doing a number on my car.

I am not closing this yet. I feel that the patch job was not done well. Someone needs to take a look at this intersection from a broader standpoint. My main concern is pedestrian and bicycle safety at this so-called "crosswalk" :-(

Any progress on this?

Except for the minimal attempt to patch this quite large hole, no other progress has been made.

In the photo, the street condition looks like a significant hazard to cyclists. I will forward the issue to a few cyclists in the area.

Are there any other residents you could forward this to? The more people concerned here, the more likely this is to get fixed.

Ugh... this one's taking forever.

The Public Works Department is available here: (860) 644-2511, Ext 343

Tell them the work was unsatisfactory and maybe they'll send a crew back out to finish the job.
