Hazard - 24 Brooker Tce Richmond

To West Torrens Council

The dip is in front of 24 Brooker Tce Richmond.

Avoiding this will cause collision with passing vehicle not expecting the cyclist to move onto the roadway.

Impact at night time is likely, causing a fall or change of direction (with risk of collision with passing vehicle).

 To Marion Council

The attached photo shows the location of the pothole and how it is a hazard
for a cyclist.

The hole is on the Western side of road (heading downhill), however there
is also a similar hole on the Eastern side. Both are 100mtrs from South
Road between the emergency turnoff and patient bus stop drop off area.

If council is not the road authority for this road please forward this
information as appropriate to ensure the hazard is removed.

Please also advise me if this road is under the care and control of another
agency.

Thanks

Grove Ave Marleston - Hidden Service cover

80 Grove Ave, Marleston

This cover is sunken by 30mm and is inside the bike lane.

In the shadows a cyclist can not see the sunken cover.

In addition to damage from impact. a cyclist hitting, or avoiding impact may move onto the roadway an risk impact with a passing vehicle.

Contacted United Water and established it is NOT on their maps as a service inspection point.

Attempted to contact Gas (number disconnected). Rang back United Water to collect correct number.

Contacted Origin on 1800 808 526 "crew to look at it today.

Railway Tce Sth - Video footage

This hazard that was reported a year ago has now caused damage to a cyclist's equipment. See report here...
http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/forum/topics/new-wheels-pot-holes-and-space

No doubt council will say "not liable in tort" or "we have an exemption from liability under section blah blah blah".

Here's a response you can run by a lawyer...
The hazard was reported 12 months ago, and the inaction by council to remove the hazard is FACTUAL CAUSATION of the damage occured.

There is NO EXEMPTION to this.

(NOTE: These comments are not made by, or been discussed with the cyclist who's bike was damaged. These comments are driven by the damage i have incurred over the years from bad roads, and the escape clause that road authoritys (and councils) use, pretending they did not know about a hazard and hence "Not liable in tort".)

Hello (pobox1@unley.sa.gov.au)

The section of Railway Tce South from Goodwood Rd to Devo Tce South is very poor and a hazard to cyclists. There are many rough patches, and a cyclist that stikes the rough patch, or avoids the rough patch, is at risk of collision with a passing vehicle..

Here is a link to a video of that section.

http://roadrepair.blogspot.com/2009/05/railway-tce-south-goodwood.html

Please contact me in regards to the action you will take to remove the hazard to cyclists.
