Condition of the Road at Lesson St Bridge

Trampas

On the way into city center coming up Lesson St bridge the cycle path use to be in a bad way with little holes where it was like the cycle path has caved in a bit.

They the other week someone came along and filled in the holes with some tarmac but never even tried to smooth it out and it is worse than ever before.

It has gone for holes in the ground to rolling over hills.

Has anyone else noticed this

Yeah, I always cycle in the middle of the road at that point.

Yeah, I have to cycle over that crap every day. It feels like going over cobblestones in a shopping trolley.

Being charitable, I suppose the tarmac might be a temporary solution until they properly resurface it. Then again, it might just be a half-arsed pile of cax that's destined to cause an accident.

I noticed that shoddy patch job by the council too. I doubt they plan to resurface it any time soon either, as then, why bother with a patch?

There's a 12inch wide line of smooth concrete beside the footpath on the road in front of the bus-shelter there, which you can avoid the worst of the bumps with, but only if there's not people waiting for a bus.

Surface like that is just asking from trouble though.

Has anyone asked DCC to fix it properly or run a roller over it?
I'm a northsider so don't know the location or relevant depot.

Is there an e-mail address you can use to tell them about it? If so, I'll do it.

It'll take more than a roller. It's been in a bad state for a couple of years now.

True, but it deteriorated rapidly a week or two ago after some "repairs".
