I'm discouraged that no one has communicated with me (the "reporter") about this issue. If a decision has been made to leave it as it, that's fine (I get that it looks kinda cool and goes with the paving stones, and maybe it is not enough of a hazard to warrant doing anything about it), but has anyone even looked at or reviewed it?

This type of cover is used exclusively by the LBWL. They were notified on 10/16/14 to investigate to see if a different type of cover can be used, or if the vent is even being used any longer. We will follow up with them over the next few weeks to see what may be done with this cover.

Following. Please share feedback Thank you.
