Descrição
Ever since the recent paving work the sewer covers on Russell St just east and west of King St have been rather recessed, such that any bicycle rider who travels over them unexpectedly gets a big jolt and might possibly lose control.
This is issue was reported previously and marked "closed" by the city but remains a problem. Please take another look at these sewer covers and soften the transition area all around them significantly, so that the surface remains smooth and safe to traverse by all modes. Thank you in advance for your attention.

"Raising the iron" of sewer and utility covers as part of paving projects is a standard detail in other cities, I don't know why it was omitted from the Russell Street project.
The City of Emeryville is now even finishing this work with concrete instead of asphalt in many locations, resulting in a smoother area around the hole that also lasts longer, avoiding the common issue of crumbling, aged asphalt around a sewer cover.

I've noticed this in other places. It seems like government trying to do shoddy repair work on the cheap instead of quality projects that will last.
Thanks for reporting.
