Seriously! And it's completely bizarre that they've put in all those nice pedestrian/bike crossings all along 3rd, but allow the pavement to remain in this condition.

I’ve switched my tires to jumbo trail tires to ease the punishments of the bumps. It’s just awful. Saw an 8 year old fall off her bike on Treat just north of 3rd when she hit a particularly bad patch.

And Tucson has the nerve to tout itself as a "bike-friendly" city. I mean, the Loop is great and all, but that's perimeter cycling. Commuting or running errands on a bike in this town is worth your life.

For anyone who might be following: I submitted this issue directly to the City of Tucson Department of Transportation. They responded within a couple of days, asking for some clarification. Today, I got the following in my email: "We appreciate you taking the time to submit a request for service to the City of Tucson, Department of Transportation. Work request #1940 has been created to investigate your concern on 3rd St between Tucson Bl and Country Club . You may track the status of your request by calling (520) 791-3154."
