>> Larry,
>>
>> I am the inspector on the Division Street sidewalk project. Yesterday
>> I received a copy of your email to Project Manager, Sheri Zimny
>> concerning the catch basin at corner of Division and Bowman. I took a
>> look at today and indeed there was potential for a bicyclist turning
>> from Bowman onto division to catch their tire in the grate. I picked
>> up a solid cover from the Cities utility department and replaced the
>> herring bone one at that location. The new structure was placed
>> during the sidewalk and stormwater project to access the existing
>> storm line and for expanding the system west into the "Rain Garden"
>> that was built there at the corner. That location is a high spot and
>> no water drains into it, so the solid cover will work for everyone.
>> Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
>>
>> Chuck Main
