Pothole Thread 2009
 
What a nightmare. Have to deal with:

High snow not melting (lowered cars ftl)
Side streets not plowed, no where to park
Parked cars sticking out in the middle of street
Black ice every night

And now potholes!

Use this thread to let people know where to watch out for potholes.

Northbound Lions Gate Bridge, middle lane, at the south end, has a monster pothole.

And the right lane of Oak Street Bridge southbound is a disaster area. Stay away!

The_AK 12-31-2008 12:01 AM

clearly you guys have never driven on roads in russia

ronald55555 12-31-2008 12:02 AM

stay on the right lane on oak going north bound, there's a small pot hole past half way, but can be easily avoided. Left lane going north bound is pretty bad.

Sweet2L 12-31-2008 12:38 AM

My entire car almost sunk into one a few nights ago. My car has pretty much never been abused as much as it has this last winter

oak is f'd up.

Kingsway heading into Burnaby by Boundary Rd, middle lane before the bus lane ends, STAY THE FUCK OUT OF THAT LANE! Also, a little further up, I think in the same lane or maybe on the passing lane is another pot hole, I don't remember.

damn.. i just hit 2 huge pot holes going west bound on broadway the Cambie Intersection.

Go'vt should fix them tonight before it starts snowing again. This is where some of our tax money should go to.

Alas, tonight your tax dollars are gonna go towards ppl like me making 2x pay + an extra paid day off. I love working stat holidays as usually there's nothing to do so I end up surfing RS all night.

I believe the Lions Gate Bridge pothole has been fixed. Drove by it this morning and a crew was patching it up. :thumbsup:

heading west on broadway & cambie. construction tried to do some fix to the road in the fast lane but failed, so now there is no pavement and plenty of gravel and pot holes.

Alderbridge and Garden City North bound left lane.

right wheel will dig into it.

Shun Izaki 01-01-2009 03:20 AM

hastings near sushitown/capitol hill heading eastbound towards barnet, there's two HUGE mother fucking potholes there, but they're temporrarily filled in with black rocks. Still a bit of a dip (since rocks have moved) for my suspension.
