Description

After every rainfall, there are big puddles along South and North Union Street. They stay for a couple of days. The puddles start on the east side of the bike lane and extend into the drive lane. There are several issues with this. The puddles are difficult to navigate since they are deep and it is not obvious what the road condition is under below the surface of the puddle. This require a bike rider to get around the puddle by using the car lane or the sidewalk. Either approach defies the purpose and benefit of the bike lane. As the weather becomes colder, there is the added danger of a smooth frozen surface. Which increase the chance of crashing. Often the puddle extend into the car lane. Which results in cars spraying the bike rider and pedestrians with the water from the puddle.
