Description

For clarification: I reported this here yesterday, and there has been some work to fix one of the many enormous potholes on 16th street within that block, but it was not the trench I was referring to - that trench still remains trecherous and uncared for.
There is a pothole on 16th St. that is larger (both wider and longer) than the size of a sedan due to ongoing road construction. For several weeks, it was a mound which I jokingly referred to as the largest, unmarked speed bump in the city. Some work was done to the area and it is no longer a mound, but a trench with several, deep potholes within the trench itself, and it doesn't matter how slowly you drive over it, you will still hit each dent with a bang. I have to drive over or around this every day on both my morning and evening commutes, as it is in the lane open for south bound commuters during the morning rush and open to northbound commuters during the evening rush. I have witnessed fender benders and bottlenecking as a result, and my drive has become noticably longer as a result of the delays this causes. I'm sure my poor tires are much worse for the wear as well. Please fix!
