Hazard - Service Cover - Railway Tce Bikeway

To Marion Council and United Water
uw.adelaide@uwi.com.au, council@marion.sa.gov.au

Hello

Please fix the service cover on Railway Tce Ascot Park, corner of Third ave (map and photo attached).

The service cover is greater than 40mm below the road surface and has a 90 degree rough edge of bitumen.

A cyclist will be injured from impact, or damage will occur to bicycle.

A cyclist avoiding impact will be at risk of collision from a passing vehicle not expecting the cyclist to change line of travel.

I realise that there is often negotiation required to establish who is responsible to fix service cover hazards.

Please mininise the time it takes to remove the hazard. This will miminise the chance of injury or damage to a cyclist, and the subsequent claim for losses.

Feedback on progress to remove the hazard is appreciated.
