Description

27th St between Broadway and Valdez, both eastbound and westbound in the bike lanes.

There are seams between the concrete pads along the bike lanes both directions that have been catching wheels and causing crashes. The seam in the westbound direction was filled with tar several years ago after the bike lane was first striped, but has since deteriorated.

Here is a report from a bike rider who crashed at this location:

“I took a huge spill on my bike and broke my collarbone going down 27th just off Broadway, where there is a huge construction site. I was going eastbound, from Broadway to Harrison. There was a huge seam in the road that tripped up my wheel though. A construction worker said people had been crashing their bikes on that thing almost everyday!!!”

Please completely fill the gaps in the concrete both directions with tar again, so they are flush with the roadway and unable to cause more bike crashes.
