http://www.flickr.com/photos/78934859@N04/ The best way to get these fixed is to use the ADA law any thing that can trap a wheelchair wheel is illegal. I'm going to try and force a recall of all cast iron storm drain grates they are breaking and pose a hazard to automobiles as well.
The little town near me had the grates in line with the road (taking up three feet of the lane on the passenger side every 50 feet or so).
Very dangerous.
My wheel could have easily slipped in.
About two years after I was moved here, and I began riding nearer to the double yellow to avoid the danger in this area, the town reoriented the grates to be perpendicular to the flow of traffic.
This is much safer
I never said a word.
.
Best of luck in your quest.
I don't think I have seen any of these in the wild. I'll keep a look out. Think it is a neat collection of dangerous storm drain grates. I like the idea of having the drains follow Ada, but wonder if some designs would hinder water flow.
