List of potholes from prior thread
I wanted to create a list separate from the other thread of potholes for easier reference. Feel free to continue posting in the other thread and I can update it here. Also, feel free to provide better details of these potholes (e.g., what lane, landmark, etc.). Please note if any of these have been fixed as well. Hope this helps us to keep our Bimmers safe.
Best Of (Or, Don't go there unless you wanna shit yourself and scream like a little girl) - Tobin Bridge, Route 1N Boston - Right-most lane on the Pike when you enter Pru Tunnel going east-bound, just before Copley exit Cambridge - Route 16W between Mass. Ave. and Route 2 in Cambridge Somerville - Washington St., intersection with Inner Belt Rd., near the touchless car wash Medford - Large dips in the pavement on Middlesex Ave., southbound, between Wendy's and Kappy's Everett - Numerous potholes on 16E, middle lane, just past Target, Best Buy, Mellon bank, etc. I-90 - On-ramp from I-90 (east or west?) to I-495N I-93 - I-93N, exit 4 (Route 24) I-95 - I-95N, exit 16B Last edited by Tennberg; 12-30-2008 at 11:27 PM.. |

Sorry, I had a brain lapse, it was the right most (slow, exit lane) on the pike.
For the one at Landmark, it's on Park Dr, between Beacon / Riverway, right lane, going towards Boylston

This is hilarious, I was just thinking to myself yesterday "we're probably the only region that could make a case to have a pothole location thread stickied."
Anyways, here's my contributions: - the manhole has been covered up again, but it was on that stretch of 16 going from Everett to Chelsea on the Chelsea side - Numerous potholes on 16 going from Everett to Chelsea on the Everett side leaving the little area with Target, Best Buy, Mellon bank etc. on the middle lane - Somverville on 28/McGrath there's a little hidden crater on the right lane after the Stop and Shop after you go in the little tunnel but before you hit Assembly Square - I would avoid the Tobin on rt. 1 north altogether right now. Not joking. |

I would have to say that New York and Philly are as bad, but Boston is unique in that we have more bad roads that are unavoidable. With the way the streets are designed in most of the state, we have no choice but to take a cratered road to get somewhere because the land was divided up first and the streets were designed as an afterthought. One way streets, rotaries, hidden train tracks in the middle of the road... we got it all!

Craters on the moon are smaller.

Another one:
Huntington Ave (Rte 9 West Bound) outside of Prudential Center, right most lane, just next to the pike exit, HUGE hole on the ground for weeks, made much worse with the recent weather

This one is right at the intersection with Inner Belt Rd, and I've called Somerville but the road is not in their jurisdiction, it's owned by DCR.

This should be mapped and live updated from iPhones based on GPS! Do we have any App developers in here?

So, I file with DCR, and hear back from them a week later saying they are not liable for any damage done by any pothole on their roads, even if people have complained to them about it for months. I love living in Massachusetts sometimes. |

Has anyone tried requesting reimbursement from the town for wheel/tire damage? I heard that this is possible, but wondering if anyone has been successful in arguing this with the town they hit the hole in?
