This road has SO many potholes that i can barely avoid them on my bike!!!

100% agree with Jess. My Subaru is low to the ground and this causes major issues - I don't want to risk damage to the undercarraige.

The road has been greatly in need of repair for months. I'll second Kat Gosselin's comment on even a bike having trouble avoiding all the deep potholes, and it's been a sure hazard for my vehicle.

This area is in need of serious repair. Extra hazardous for motorcycles and bicycles.

Chase Lane is not a City Owned Street or public Right of Way. It is comprised of a variety of shared driveways for the access from Chase Street. Since it is not a City owned street or public right of way the responsibility to maintain this area falls to the mix of owners of the shared driveway.

Sure seemed like a public right of way last summer when the city parked all its construction vehicles on it every night and used it during the day while paving Colchester Ave. Not to mention that for the past 5 years the city has made an effort to grade it when needed.

You are receiving this message because you have previously (or perhaps just now) submitted a request on SeeClickFix. We're excited to let you know that we are now implementing a comprehensive asset management program which is a mostly "behind the scenes" effort. This will enable more efficient, more effective and more fiscally sound infrastructure management. Nothing changes for you and we'll continue to use SeeClickFix, but we have had to automate a process to connect our open SCF requests with our asset management program. There may be the occasional bug to work out, but rest assured that your issue is still in queue and assigned to the right City staffer. Once this initial round of automation is through in about a week, we'll revert back to our standard messages on SeeClickFix.

Thank you for reporting this issue. As previously mentioned, Chase Lane is not a City owned street or public right of way. In past years DPW has occasionally provided assistance with the holes that develop on this private road as time and crews availability allowed. Unfortunately at this time DPW does not have the resources to stretch to areas that are outside of the right of way. Thank you for understanding. The Department of Public Works has resolved this request. Thanks for helping to keep Burlington a great place to live and work. Feel free to call me should you have any questions.

Best,
