WTF is wrong with our city? Despicable lack of response to a clear and immediate hazard to everyone who uses this stretch of road. I am amazed I have not read of any serious injuries or deaths along this section. The road is in horrible shape. It's challenging and stressful to pass through here even on a motorcycle, let alone on a road bicycle with skinny tires.

There actually was a serious injury bike crash on this stretch that led to a $1.7M lawsuit settlement that the city paid out in 2018. There have been multiple rounds of pothole patches here since then, but they deteriorate quickly.
Full repaving here on Skyline as well as Tunnel Rd is on the new paving plan but not until 2025. I encourage everyone to contact their city council members to ask that Skyline and Tunnel be expedited in the paving schedule to take care of them sooner, and avoid additional crashes and expensive lawsuits.
