Chicago - Lakefront Trail/Path Update
FYI -- they have filled in most of the major potholes (especially just north of Navy Pier). 
Rubber side down!

I did notice that on my commute home Wednesday, however I do wish they'd do more than simply mound the asphalt in the pot holes, still a bumpy ride...

true, although since I live on Lake Shore and work in the loop I go entirely on the path, save about 3 blocks of street riding

At least they are nice enough to spraypaint the areas where you could kill yourself!
The path north of Fullerton is in pretty good shape now after the reconstruction project.

the yellow paint helps a lot! and it's so much better now that they completely replaced that section of pavement right at the curve at Fullerton, probably the same place you're talking about.
