Descrição
The abandoned train tracks crossing Mandela are quite unevan, and the blacktop around it has buckled up and down causing a severe hazard to cyclists. The problem is at it's worst in the bicycle lane, so to safely cross the tracks you have to go to the far left lane, or make a sharp curve onto 26th street to loop around the tracks.

Here's a picture of the tracks at this location, which have not yet been addressed. I tried adding some marking paint to the most hazardous bumps and gaps to help bicyclists avoid them, but at this stage there is almost no safe way to get across these tracks safe dismounting and walking across.
I understand that track removal is very expensive and complicated, but there must be a simpler and cheaper solution to this issue in the short term, at least. This particular track (in both the north and south bound directions of Mandela Parkway at 26th St) is even worse than all of the other bad track crossings around here and should be prioritized first. This is an on-street section of the Bay Trail, believe it or not, and it scares me to think that parents and kids might be biking through here.
