Every spring I notice more manholes have sunk into the pavement on our roads and fewer get repaired. Even some on recently paved roads seem to have sunk.
Hitting one of these depressed lids can send a terrific jolt to any riders who did not have time to react and get around them. I do contract work for the City and was able to get someone to call me back on this. Seems City engineering staff have a lot of excuses as to why these things don't get raised up by the maintenance crews, yesterday's was another lack of staff due to Covid response.
How do other municipalities compare ?
