All of Windsor Road — it is undrivable and dangerous and should be closed immediately. Saturday Jan 11, 2014.
N. Mattis. The stretch between Bradley and at least University, if not Springfield.
Seriously? They're everywhere, pretty much the entire length of Kirby, of Windsor, of Mattis, Springfield; can't begin to tell how many we hit or dodged today while driving.
A full block southbound on Duncan between LaDue and Clayton in Champaign.
Mattis Ave. Between Bradley and Springfield. North and south bound lanes.
Elm & Haines area, Champaign
Urbana - Cunningham Avenue
Urbana - Illinois Avenue between Vine and Orchard
Lincoln Avenue, southbound lane, outside shoulder, in front of Circle K. It is so bad that when I hit it, it made my sliding door buzzer go off! let's hope that no permanent damage was done!
Route 150 from Urbana to St. Joseph
I-74 from St Joseph to Fithian
Windsor Road between Philo Road and Race Street. They are especially bad at Windsor and Race.
Market Street, Champaign, between Olympian and Ford Harris road/I-57
On Cunningham right by the used car dealership across from Meineke. Also some right before McDonald's on Cunningham.
Just got done changing tire for my wife, pothole destroyed rim. It was huge. I'd consider it high priority as it is hidden in a puddle. It is on Bradley 1 block west of prospect on the south side of the street.
In the Southbound lanes of Prospect between Devonshire and Windsor there are several large potholes that will damage cars and have already take hubcaps.
Champaign: Prospect Avenue, the entire stretch of road between Devonshire Drive and Windsor Road.
Champaign: Intersection of Windsor Road and First Street is filled with holes.
North Mattis in front of St. Thomas More High School
Rossmoor Ct Champaign cul de sac. It's been there years. Mattis Avenue by post office.
Heading south on Mattis between Kirby and Windsor-closer to Windsor in the left hand southbound lane.
Prospect and Windsor, South Neil Street
At the intersection of Cardinal Road and Bloomington Road/ US 150 in Champaign.
Windsor Road, between Philo and Race Streets.
Duncan road between Bradley & Clayton. There are numerous LARGE potholes between that stretch of road that could be dangerous to your car!
Also, large pothole south of Bradley on Lincoln Ave (southbound) just past gas station before the fire house.
State Street north of Kirby. Not good.
Route 150, just west of Mattis.
Westbound John Street immediately west of Mattis intersection - it's huge!
North Country Fair Drive
All of Windsor between Philo and Lincoln is essentially one giant pothole.
150 west of Mattis heading toward Mahomet
Windsor Road, Philo to just west of Race, HORRIBLE. Then they over fill and it's like speed bump after speed bump. Tha city should pay for our damages!
Race Street between Windsor and Vine; Colorado between Philo and Cottage Grove; all in Urbana
Prospect between Devonshire and Windsor; Windsor between Lincoln and Philo
I thought Laura Huth was crazy when, a few years back, she suggested a light rail system for C-U. But then I realized that MTD buses eat pavement.
Considering the health of Urbana's brick roadways (High, Nevada & Michigan), I wonder why we don't return to brick for residential streets.
It's prettier. There's a natural speed-bump effect, which keeps the little ones safe. And the maintenance costs are what? Zero?
Keep the feeder roads paved, of course.
