Q. Please describe in detail the issue.
A. Wide expansion joint needs to be filled. This is a designated Bike Route from S.Heights to Waugh Dr across Memorial drive. This particular Expansion joint follows the exact angle that a cyclist has to take when merging from S Heights over to the outside lane on the bridge. I know of several accidents due to the Cyclist 's front tire falling into this expansion joint causing the Cyclist to be dumped over the handlebars. To add to the hazard the normal traffic speed at this merge is typically above 40 mph.
