More Braking bumps and ruts? Anyone else starting to notice these bumps and ruts at major intersections? They didnt used to be as bad. Are they using cheaper/crappier materials or what? These things could be very dangerous in emergency situations. |
I routinely ride north/south on Rupert. There are a couple cracks along the right edge in the 20-something streets. Every time I'm on Rupert and I hit Kingsway I cringe. It's very very bumpy. I can't even hit it at 45km/h or it feels like I'll get thrown off my bike. The surface there isn't cracked, but has just reshaped itself due to bus and truck weight. |
Or just normal weight vehicles stopping. I'm noticing more and more of this. |
Nainamo definitely needs to completely repaved after all those temp patches. KingEdward is so much better... |

That intersection is horrendeous and I catch air time every time I drive over those bumps at anything greater than 5km/hr |
yea i've noticed the crappy road conditions lately, especially on kingsway starting from metrotown area until main st... |
They repaved a big section of Kingsway between Metrotown and Boundary... but I agree with everybody here I literally SHIVER/CRINGE at the thought of driving Kingsway and will often drive GREAT distances to avoid it..... eventhough it's direct for me and I live just off of it between Metrotown and Highgate... the Rupert/Kingsway intersection is a total DISASTER... even in a non-lowered car. |
yea. the city's cheapin out and just patching little by little. they patch it up and as cars/truck drives over the patch, it kinda lifts up bit by bit and you have your hole again. hmm.... maybe it's the city workers doing a shit job, so there will be work for them to do. fuck, i hate city workers. 3 guys watching/supervising 1 guy working. .. |

hastings and boundary has some so does kingsway and willingon |
Job security. If they did a proper job, they wouldn't have to patch it up every year. |
