PAUL SAUK CENTRE <br />- MINNESOTA - <br />0 Fourth Avenue 84. <br />St. Cloud, Minnesota 8082 <br />2614751 <br />314 Oak St. <br />Sauk Centre, Minnesota tnis <br />652404 <br />To Whom It May Concern <br />In the past few years there has been a large increase in the <br />number of bicycles on the road and most of these have the narrow <br />tires. <br />This has created a problem for governing bodies throughout the <br />Country because these narrow tires become trapped in the drainage <br />grates of the older type catch basin castings and cause injury <br />to the bicyclist. This is true of the castings which have their <br />grates parallel with the curb. When an injury occurs, the <br />municipality, township, county, etc., are sometimes defendents <br />in a lawsuit for allowing these castings to remain. <br />We recommend that you inventory the catch basin castings on the <br />streets and roads under your jurisdiction. Make a note of all <br />the castings that have their grates parallel with the flow of <br />bicycle traffic. Then we recommend that these castings be <br />replaced with ones that will correct this condition. In lieu of <br />this, we recommend that the existing grates be modified to <br />correct this condition. <br />Yours truly, <br />MILNER W.
