Description
I often commute by bike and there's always lots of shattered glass all over the road and sidewalks on the Kimberly Ave bridge - unsettling and unsafe. Today I almost crashed due to a huge rock (6-8 inches large) in the road, just out of reach for a car but right in the way where a bike would ride - narrowly avoided a serious accident (possibly life-threatening with such high speed traffic). I guess this is right on the line between New Haven and West Haven so nobody ever cleans up this stretch of road and sidewalk, it's always littered with smashed glass.

Glass still present and I had to reach down and move large pieces to get my adaptive trike through. I do have some puncture protection on my tires so hopefully none of the small pieces gave me a flat.
West Haven claims the bridge is not their responsibility.

Sorry for the delay. The "other" category was not well monitored. We are working to better address issues reported as "other".
The area outlined is on a state road (RT 122) and is managed by the Connecticut Department of Transportation who do not monitor this site. As the last comment is over two years old I did not forward the request.
