Description

New curbs and curb cuts have been installed on Lake Merritt Blvd as part of the 12th Street project but new asphalt has not yet been laid. The result is a 2 inch lip separating the asphalt roadway from the apron of the curb. At most (but not all) of the curb cuts, a temporary asphalt patch has been installed. At the one on the west bound side of the Blvd approaching the new bridge, a patch has not been installed creating a hazardous condition for cyclists. I took a nasty spill here on Saturday morning and am told this problem has been reported previously but not addressed.
