Update: the workers left the south side of the trail in tolerable condition but the north side remains horribly bumpy, even at modest speed. For a busy commuting path, both sides of the trail need to be in good shape.

Thank you for raising this issue. I visited the site and have made County DOT aware of the issue. I think that the problem was created last spring by a private party who repaired to drainage problems near the Pearl Street/Elm Street Park. They seem to have used gravel that is too large for comfortable cycling. I will post further information as it comes available.

The trail has been improved with the addition of some finely crushed rock. There's still plenty of room for improvement but it's tolerable now.
