After notifying the city’s Watershed Management Department, it has been determined that the straight grates are installed correctly. In order to prevent the tires of bicycles from falling between the openings, the grates were installed with all openings running horizontally. Unfortunately, this area does not have an accessible bike lane. I am closing this issue with the understanding that your comment will be considered along with the design of future streetscape projects as well as cycle networks. We encourage you to discuss any questions or concerns regarding this matter (or future issues) with a customer service representative by contacting (404) 658-6500 or e-mailing watershedhelp@atlwater.com. Thank you again for reporting this issue and keeping Midtown safe and clean.
