Ave Pins: condition of gutter in front of McGill's gym

Description

The condition of gutters can be a great problem for cyclists, especially when the traffic tends to flow at significant speed and it is dangerous to be too far from the curb.

This is the case along Ave Pins in front of the McGill Gym where shoddy construction results in very uneven pavement along the curb. Consequently it is dangerous to run close to the curb but also to be too far from the curb and in a lane of traffic that tends to increase speed following a traffic light. Often cyclists, myself included use the sidewalk at this location. However, there are always pedestrians at this location at it is certainly an inconvenience for them to have bikes riding by.

The condition of this gutter should be improved. And, more importantly, much more attention should be given to the pavement within 2 feet of the curb whenever streets are refurbished.
