This fun run is located in the 2400 block of Dante one block off of Claiborne toward Earhart. Obstacle is a large pile of asphalt that was dug up and left to resettle in the middle of a very narrow street The other is a pothole. They are so close to each other that anyone driving in this area has to stop, go angle one way to get around one and then stop and angle the other way to get around the other.  There is no way that this block is the 2 way street. Cars have to wait at one end of the block for the other one to get through this obstacle course before they can pass.  And the pile of asphalt is very near the corner of Claiborne making the turn off of Claiborne onto Dante more dangerous than it should be.
This same block suffered from repeat Sewerage & Water Board repairs and at one point was essentially a dirt road.  With the traffic reroutes going on because of the SELA project on Claiborne this mess really need to be *permanently* addressed.

Mound of asphalt, 2400 Block of Dante, just off Claiborne, right side of street.
