Sunken manhole |
If
the path up to my front door suddenly sunk a bit, I'd consider it an
emergency that had to be dealt with as soon as possible. Meanwhile these
"manhole" covers and gate valve cover outside Armelle's Kitchen, Vape
Central and the Garda barracks respectively have been like this for
years, without any urgency seemingly in the need to repair them. The
cover outside Vape Central appears to have been sunken by a heavy
vehicle, so probably just needs to be replaced. The gate valve cover
outside the barracks was reported two or three years ago.
Don't KCC understand that people with visual impairments have difficulty seeing these hazards?

When
pavements are cobblelocked, perhaps it should be mandatory that a
request be sent to service providers to add risers to manholes to make
the covers flush with the surrounding pavement.
This isn't a comprehensive list of trip hazards. I'm sure everyone's aware of lots more around the town.
