Reply to comment by monsterriffs in Thanks to increased 311 reports, we were able to issue 29 bike lane parking citations in the last 2 weeks alone. by BmoreCityDOT

Please report any that you see!

BGE is required to restore the road completely (including repainting, reinstalling flex posts, everything) within 90 days of their work being completed.

Will do! I admit that is selfishly motivated bc I run the bike race in Mt Vernon Place and that’s part of our course 😬

Oh no, you want the place you live to have safe paved roads!?

What kinda first world society do you think this is?

I believe that section of the cycle tracks had steel plates on it during the monument lighting ceremony, so it should be getting close to 90 days, if it's not already past. I'll add a report if it's still terrible the next time I'm there, but could there be an easier system for the DOT to track how long it takes for each section of utility construction?

Steel plates mean the work is still ongoing and hasn't completed yet.

And yes, we do track these things, but it also helps our staff immensely to have the public eye on it as well.

There is absolutely no way BGE is following through on this requirement. Once BGE comes through the roads are left in a disastrous state. Their “repairs” are the just incredible bad. Mixing asphalt and cement does not work. Then maybe paving half a road in the end. They just leave our city streets looking horrible.

If we get reports of substandard restorations, and our investigations find this to be true, we fine them and force them to redo it.
