I just happened to be out riding around town one day
APRIL 9, 2009
when I came across several BIG piles of gravel that were spilling out of some big potholes. Wow. If you didn't see one of these coming-- and you hit it-- you would most likely CRASH. You could even crash into traffic, which could cost you your life if you had unfortunate timing. Or, in another scenario-- you might see the gravel at the last minute and swerve violently into traffic, possibly colliding with a motor vehicle.
Basically-- this area is very unsafe for cyclists!
So, like a good citizen, I called our local Public Works and reported the problem. I was told, "We'll send someone to take a look at it."
Well, on April 24, 2009 it was still there!
So I called again.
