Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Steve Cohen's discussion 'Utility company street patching destroying bike routes'"Thank you, at fist glace this appears to be the sort of thing I was looking for.
"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Steve Cohen's discussion 'Utility company street patching destroying bike routes'"I understand that ATA is small organization with limited staff. My complaint is less about their response time and more about how they have increasing become cheerleaders for CDOT and the CTA very willing to put out glowing press releases, but less…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Steve Cohen's discussion 'Utility company street patching destroying bike routes'"I think the first step is figure out if the problem is with how the standards are written, or how they're enforced. What exactly are the utility crews required to do? If they're just required to fill the hole, then they have fulfilled…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Steve Cohen's discussion 'Utility company street patching destroying bike routes'"I'd love a scoop of ice cream, but right now I'd settle for some research into CDOT's paving standards and a FOIA request learn what utility contractors are required by to do by their agreements with CDOT.

Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Eli Naeher's discussion '"Sheldon Brown" locking technique--personal experiences'"Seeing as how they can weigh in at around half the weight of many bikes, not wanting to carry a harrended steel chain hardly makes someone a weight weenie. I use a chain at work, but I'd hate to have to carry one around.
"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Steve Cohen's discussion 'Utility company street patching destroying bike routes'"1. The two crews explanation seems likely. Asphalt takes different equipment, which in a big operation probably also means different people and may also mean different unions. Now the question is why can't the two crews be scheduled so that the…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Steve Cohen's discussion 'Utility company street patching destroying bike routes'"The length that these patches remain is what's bothering people. There is no reason from a construction requirements standpoint for this to take more than a week. When I did material testing for similar work in suburban Minneapolis, the cities…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Steve Cohen's discussion 'Utility company street patching destroying bike routes'"I don't really have a source, just other discussions where someone who sounded credible said something that sounded believable.
"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Steve Cohen's discussion 'Utility company street patching destroying bike routes'"Low slump (thick) concrete that is just dumped in the hole and left will turn out like that. Why the repair crews don't take a few minutes to some simple finishing I don't know. I've heard rummers of it being a division of…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to John Greenfield's discussion 'How do you feel about Bike Ambassadors / CPD safety outreach efforts?'"Lawrence is an absolutely terrible place to ride, smack in the middle of several bike friendly neighborhoods. It's probably the worst east/west street between Irving Park and Foster to ride on. Any map encouraging people to ride on Lawrence are…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Mark Newald's discussion 'Out of town chainlinker ideas....'"Illinois is the most straightforward way to get to the Lake Front Path and early Sunday there shouldn't be enough traffic for it to really matter what street you take. When traffic is heavier, I prefer to take Kinzie/North Water to the LFP, but…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to M's discussion 'Advice on a steel bike?'"You're probably thinking of Sturmey-Archer, who was bought out by Sun Race of Taiwan in 2000 (I don't believe that any of their UK operation remains). There are a few other companies the internal hub gear business. Chicago based SRAM has…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Jim Shaw's discussion 'Skateboards in bike lanes?'"I'd assumed we were talking about long boards since that's all I've seen in the street and didn't think about tricks. Is wearing a board leash really more embarrassing than having to ask a skier to go chase your board down the…"

Glen (FTF) said… - Hey, for the IL beach SP ride, would you mind if myself and Brittany were to share a site with you and liz? we have a 2 (and 3) person tent of our own. I wasnt sure how this all worked so I put our names down on the spread sheet but that can easily be changed.
