please remove this hazard. Near Birdwood Close.
30mm hole at base of speed hump. Near Smith st.
With the rain, the surface was as slippery as ice and very hazardous for cyclist. To avoid the hazard, cyclists were forced to ride outside of the bike lane, in the path of passing traffic.
In addition to the hazard, heavy rains have washed the cuttings into the stormwater system, no doubt ending up in the Sturt River and Patawalonga.

The service cover (SIP) is located 10 metres West of South Rd, heading West on Anzac Hwy.
Striking the sunken cover causes a cyclist injury and damage to the bicycle.
Avoiding the sunken service cover will cause a collision with a passing vehicle not expecting the cyclist to change the line of travel.

This Service Inspection Point (SIP) cover is sunken in excess of 30mm (the ruler is green for 20mm, then red).
The sunken Service Inspection Point (SIP) will cause damage and personal injury. A cyclist changing direction to avoid the SIP is at risk of colliding with a passing vehicle. Drivers are also aggravated by having to drive slowly behind a cyclist who is in the way.
Being on a corner, this SIP is a hazard for a cyclist attempting to indicate a turn (one handed).
Reported to Maria Kourtesis JP (Liberal Candidate for Bright) at a street corner meeting at the corner of Harrow and King George streets.
The challenge was set to have the hazard removed. This was in the context of the issue that these hazards are NOT attended to, even if reported. See the topic "United Water" (click to view).
Here is a video of a cyclist negotiating the corner and SIP.

The topic was "Cycling Towards a Healthy and Sustainable Community".

Keynote speaker - Associate Professor Chris Rissel

There is something wrong if a hazard report to this audience does not get fixed in less than one month.
