Hazards on the Interurban Open

2482 Burcham Drive East Lansing, Michigan - Okemos

Riding eastward home tonight on Burcham, I entered the Interurban walking/biking trail. Then maybe 50 yards later, just over the hump by the water plant, I was almost thrown off my bike by a big lump...of pavement (i.e. hard to see) pushed up by a plant in the MIDDLE of the path. Others are breaking through at the sides. How did such potent vegetation get under the path?! It's like Little Shop of Horrors! I think a good dose of weedkiller (or a blowtorch) and a roller to tamp it down would do wonders--thank you.

Very narrow degraded shoulder Open

1163 West Grand River Avenue Okemos, Michigan - Okemos

The shoulder along Grand River, east-bound, in this area for about 300 ft. or so is very degraded and is between 8" and maybe 2 ft. wide at the widest (between the white fog line and the gravel). Hope this gets fixed this construction season as some motorists seem to think that they have the right or duty to drive down the white line which can end up being dangerously close to a bicyclist riding on that narrow little strip of asphalt.

  This post has been responded to several times in the past. The larger holes on Hamilton have been filled. It is not practical to filler smaller holes and cracks with hot asphalt, unless spray patch is used, which draws complaints form cyclists regarding the loose gravel spray patching leaves on the surface. Segmental maintenance paving is planned for the worst areas of Hamilton Rd between Okemos Rd and Grand River Ave (M-43) this summer. Nothing further can be offered on Hamilton Rd given limited funding.

Many holes remain in this busy intersection Open

Hamilton Rd - Okemos Rd. Intersection Okemos, MI - Okemos

I've been reporting multiple potholes in this intersection for 2 yrs. now. There was a huge repaving project east of this intersection last year when this could have been fixed, but it wasn't. Some of the many holes were patched this spring and many remain. Some are gaping linear cracks between concrete slabs that are the perfect width of a bike wheel and others are much larger. There's another huge area, perhaps 12 ft. x 12 ft. in the inner south-bound lane that is really bad on car suspension that I've been dodging for over a year. This is Okemos' historic downtown and deserves better.

Web of potholes causes bicyclist crash with serious injuries Archived

4675 Van Atta Rd Okemos, MI - Okemos

The section of badly busted up pavement in the north bound lane on Van Atta Rd. which I reported in Sept. 2011 -
http://www.seeclickfix.com/issues/124148 - has caused a 61 yr. old bicyclist to crash and either break his shoulder or dislocate it. My mother was the first responder as this mess is right in front of their house. For some reason the county road crew has continued to pass up this 20 ft. long section of broken pavement for the past year. Now someone is seriously hurt. Please patch this mess.

Paved shoulder disappears on Grand River Open

Cornell Rd. And Grand River Ave. Intersection Okemos, MI 48864 - Okemos

The nice paved shoulder on Grand River ends about here for Westbound traffic; paved shoulder begins about here for Eastbound lane. Best to take the right lane to avoid cars/ trucks trying to squeeze by, although the lanes are extremely wide.

  We need more people to complain about this so MDOT won't continue doing this on other major trunk line renovations/ expansions around the state. Hopefully we can convince them to restripe it with bike lanes when the time comes down the road.

Huge potholes on N. Van Atta Rd. Archived

4681 Van Atta Rd Okemos, MI 48864, USA - Okemos

There are about a dozen or so huge, deep potholes that have formed in the past couple months on N. Van Atta Rd. mostly in the north-bound lane. Several very large ones that span much of the travel lane are on the south approach to the one hill about 1/3 mi. north of Grand River which force drivers to veer into the other lane to avoid hitting the potholes putting them at risk of a head-on collision with drivers coming over the hill southbound. I hope they get filled before someone gets hurt.

This area is getting considerably worse such that drivers are swerving around it to avoid damage to their tires/ wheels, etc. Which makes them have to go into the oncoming lane. (11-15-11)
More deep potholes and a large cracked up area have developed on N. Van Atta Rd. near the marker/ address here as well as approx. 300 ft. north of this point in the north-bound lane. See attached pic of the badly cracked up segment that needs a large patch. One of the deep potholes is right after a large hill with very limited sight distances.
