Description
With all the traffic, and especially bike traffic, in this area, and huge potholes in the middle of the intersection, it's just a matter of time until some cyclist making a turn falls in one of the potholes and a motorist trying to beat a red light or make a turn hits them. This intersection needs to be closed down and repaved - it is a disaster area.
