Description
There is a drain grate situated between the Hampton Inn and Red Roof Inn on Elkridge Landing Rd that has gaps parallel to the direction of travel and wide enough for a bicycle wheel to fall in to. All other grates on this section of Elkridge Landing are configured to be bicycle safe. Numerous bike commuters heading to the NSA or other office facilities in this area in heavy traffic each morning have to swerve in to traffic to avoid the grate. As there is no shoulder this presents a significant hazzard.

1) Report the problem here: http://www.aacounty.org/DPW/ContactDPW.cfm
(My best guess) and let me know how it goes.
If you need justification, see recommendation 1, action 4 http://www.aacounty.org/PlanZone/MasterPlans/BikePed/Resources/bike_ped_action.pdf

I'll note that Carol from Bike Maryland (http://bikemd.org/page.php?id=1 ) has taken on the challenge of trying to find the person who can fix this. I've been copied on a lot of emails and I hope we are getting closer.

Per Carol's last email the grate should be fixed soon.
