Description

Along this stretch of Evans road there is a guardrail directly above the curbing, resulting in very little room to maneuver for cars or bikes in traffic. One section of the guardrail was damaged in an accident more than seven years ago and presents some sharp edges to cyclists that are riding close to the side of the road.

Given the location on this wetland causeway next to Lake Crabtree and age of the problem there may be a jurisdiction issue, or maybe it just fell through the cracks years ago and will be quickly repaired.

BTW, the support posts for this railing all have sharp edges extending above the horizontal barriers - if a biker or motorcyclist is forced off the road over this railing, there will be stitches required. The post height is not likely to be fixed, but maybe this will help the repair team better see the issue from a rider's perspective?
