"There's one (sinkhole) forming at Belmont Harbor Not sure if it's because they combine Asphalt and Concrete or the water somehow forcing it's way over the steel wall and freezing and thawing."

"I'm grateful that I only needed my full cold weather gear twice. Previous winters I'd wear it for weeks at a time.  Did not need to put plastic bags over my feet in my shoes to keep the sub-zero wind out."

Mike Zumwalt replied to Tricolor's discussion Lakefront Trail Closure - Lincoln Park area
"They put up concrete barriers along the undamaged bike path and if you head North just past North ave it forces you to go to the path that's destroyed. The paved part along the Zoo and rowing lagoon is horrible at least on 700x25 tires "
