Gladstone Avenue (Hintonburg section) in very bad shape

[a***@twobikes.ottawa.on.ca]

I was walking down Gladstone Avenue Saturday, and noticed that there
are a number of very large (> 6" in diameter) and fairly deep
potholes on Gladstone Avenue in the east-bound lane, between Spadina and
Bayswater Avenues.

There are also a number of other, only slightly smaller, potholes in the
same area on Gladstone, between the railway tracks and Fairmont.

These would be very unpleasant -- in fact dangerous -- to encounter on
your bicycle. Beware.

My councillor's office says that Gladstone Avenue in that general area is
scheduled for reconstruction, starting in mid-June. No more info right
now.

I ride that route quite often, and yes, that stretch is pretty bad.
During last Thursday night's rain all the potholes filled up, making it
impossible to tell which ones were 1" deep, and which ones were 6". I
almost lost control at one point, as a passing truck made it impossible
for me to avoid what turned out to be one of the deep ones...
