Tuesday I reported a problem with the MAX (local lightrail train) tracks, again. The concrete rail panels have broken, and leave a several inch step in the middle of the bike lane on a street near my apartment.
While I was pruning that same street, yesterday, I spotted TriMet's service crew checking out the panel. So, I got to show them first hand the problem.
The first time I reported the problem, I noticed that the crew had laid asphalt and "feathered" the problems in the auto lane, but not the bike lane. I spotted a safety crew, and pointed this out to them, but foul weather set in, and only now has things improved (yeah right... improved (record rain yesterday)) to try again.
I was told by the crew yesterday they have replacement panels on order (the problem is more than just the bike lane), but they'd send out a crew to feather the bike lane soon.
