Hazard - Anzac Highway - Grass cuttings in bike lane

To Unley, West Torrens and Holdfast councils

<mail@holdfast.sa.gov.au>, <csu@wtcc.sa.gov.au>, <pobox1@unley.sa.gov.au>,

On the Wednesday night, at many places from Greenhill Rd to Marion Rd (south side), there were grass cutting spread onto the bike lane. In places the grass cuttings were also piled up.

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.

Hazard - Pothole in path of cyclists - Anzac Hwy ADELAIDE

Hello City@adelaidecitycouncil.com

NOTE: I have contacted Department of Transport and they have determined that this part of Anzac Highway is the responsibility of Adelaide City Council.

This pothole located on the South side of Anzac Hwy, 200 metres East of Greenhill Rd (heading West).

The hole is 1 metre out from the kerb an in the direct path of a cyclist.

It is also hidden when raining by the water collected.

A cyclist hitting, or avoiding this hole will change the line of travel and is at risk of collision with a passing vehicle.

Please also note that the general condition of the bitumen in this area is very poor, and a cyclist negotiating bumps and dips in the stretch of road between West Tce and Greenhill Rd is at risk of collision with passing vehicles.

Plesae contact me to advise of the action that will be taken to remove the above hazards.

I received an email from a cyclist who suffered $500 damage to his bike at this site. His accident was just before I reported it:
"on 16 july last year this hazard caused over $500 damage to my bike and the council refused to compensate me stating they had not been notified of the hazard previously"

YET 12 DAYS LATER, (my report) the hazard was STILL THERE!

Hazard - Bitumen lifted - 251 Young St Parkside

Please find attached two areas where the bitumen has lifted at 251 Young St Unley.

 

THis is part of a bike route and hazardous for cyclist or pedestrians.

Delays to remove hazard of service covers

As with all sunken or faulty service covers reported to United water, they
are slow to remove the hazard, often not removing the hazard at all.
