Biking & Walking:
Other: This evening a crashed off my bike while making a tight turn off of Atwater onto Swain. This was caused by gravel, mud, and leaves washed down Swain to the intersection with Atwater. Fortunately, I only scraped my knee, riuned my pants, and got muddy because I was traveling fairly slowly. Several times over the past couple of years I have reported debris (dirt, sand, gravel, mud, etc.) at this intersection. Each time the street sweeper or someone would eventually clean it up. However, if anyone were to give this situation the slightest thought, it would be apparent why this is a recurring problem. Gravel and dirt wash down to this this corner from the alleys off of Swain. Failure to install curbs, retention mechanisms, and proper drains and/or paving the alley is necessary to solve this problem. Failure to do so will result in further accidents and harm.

History

I checked the intersection and noticed the leaves have not been removed in this area so there is a large accumulation at this intersection. Accumulation at this intersection is always going to be an issue because the grade on Swain is fairly steep and Atwater is flat. I cleaned the leaves off the storm inlet in the southwest corner because the inlet was blocked. It also did not appear the street sweeper had been there so I called Danna and asked her to make sure they get there. I did not see any debris other than leaves and I checked the alleys upstream (off Swain) and they are paved so I don't think gravel is washing off them as stated. Finally, CBU had done extensive storm sewer work on Swain and Atwater in the last 4 years to help capture runoff in this area.
