Old East End

A new bike lane was painted on Colchester Ave going up the hill from the bridge. The lane is on the outside of the parking until near the top where it transition to next to the curb. In this "transition area" the signage indicates it is fine to park in the bike lane. Please move the No Parking sign down the hill to the start of the bike lane transition so cars are not parked in the lane.

The signage on the Colchester Ave bike lane is such that it allows residents to legally park in the lane at the top of the hill. The no parking needs to be moved down the hill to the point where the bike lane transitions from outside the parking to the curb. There is a section as seen in the photo where the car is legally parked according to the signs but blocks the bike lane causing bikes to have to swerve out into traffic while going up a busy steep hill. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW PARKING IN BIKE LANE!

Sewer grate on the steep uphill section of Colchester Ave is not level with the road. This area is suppose to get bike lanes painted next week and this is directly in the bike lane on a very steep section. Please fix this so people on bicycles can smoothly ride over this area.

The rapid flashing pedestrian crosswalk beacon at Schmanska Park (the one just south of the park) disappeared awhile back. Is it going to be replaced? Crossing there in the dark during the winter is difficult, as cars do not watch for pedestrians without the flashing lights. I know there is another one just north of the park, but there is no sidewalk on the east side of Grove Street, and getting to it requires scaling snowbanks or walking in the road, also not safe in the dark.

Bike lane lines were painted on Colchester Ave in November and already the outer line of the bike lane has been worn away. Please repaint with something that lasts longer then 1.5 months.

There is no way to avoid potholes on Colchester Ave. any longer- swerving to avoid one just puts you into the path of another one. I’ve almost gotten hit by people swerving to avoid potholes, and I don’t blame them considering how deep the holes have gotten. Why didn’t the months of roadwork fix this??

Chase Lane has developed multiple tire eating potholes. The road needs to be regraded ASAP.

Sinkhole

Misplaced yellow line causing cars to be hit. The center yellow line is to far to one side and does not leave enough room for a parked car and a travel lane. Multiple cars have been hit including two vehicles in front of 339 Colchester Ave Sunday night into Monday morning. Mirrors and car parts laying in the road. Please fix the center line.

Please add something to sit on at the bus stop at 329 Colchester Ave. People are constantly sitting on the ground, standing in sidewalk often for long period of time. A place to sit would be useful here especially for anyone with a disability that prevents long periods of standing. Thank you.
