There is a large pothole, with a piece of metal sticking up out of it, along the train tracks in the intersection of Columbus Blvd and Washington Ave. It did $250 worth of damage to my car as I was turning left from Columbus onto Washington with a bag of tile mortar from Lowes in the trunk. I assume the piece of metal that's sticking up may have hit the underside of my vehicle as I drove through the pothole, although there are plenty of other ways that pothole could have done the damage. The pothole is basically positions right where cars would naturally drive while making that left turn. You have to do either an extra wide or extra tight turn to avoid it.

Turning right onto Columbus Blvd from Washington Ave, there's a right-hand cutout just before the intersection.

Something about the timing of the lights, the shallow angle of the cutout compared to the road, or just the width of Washington Ave, seems to encourage cars to speed through this cutout at dangerous speeds.

There's a pedestrian crosswalk across this intersection, but I have personally been nearly run over several times while walking or jogging.

This is a vital access point for the Delaware River Trail and Washington Avenue Green. If the city is serious about walkability and greening up its waterfronts, then they need to rethink this whole intersection.

Until that happens, I'd be happy with one of those yellow pedestrian/crosswalk warning signs, or better a yield to pedestrian sign at this crosswalk.

The bike lane paint on Columbus between Race and Spring Garden is not consistent and has completely faded in some points. It is important for cars to realize there is a bike lane here especially with so many cars traveling at such high speeds.
