Supposedly it's being addressed, we'll see. There's a local board in the same jurisdiction as this that I frequent and the cycling advocate for the city ran it straight up the flagpole. They're supposed to turn them 90 degrees.
I've heard that before, as I'm sure that we've all heard that before. There are two sets of drain gates that are of the tire trapping variety that I have and so far nothing has been done about them. And one of them is right in the middle of the street
AND in the shade, if one doesn't know that it's there it could get ugly.
