Report Details

AI-generated, reviewed by reporter

An open utility vault with missing cover is exposing a dark cavity approximately 2–3 feet wide in the sidewalk at Richmond Street West near Portland Street, creating a trip and fall hazard for pedestrians with no protective barriers or warning signage. A nearby metal catch basin cover is also sunken or misaligned, and a former traffic signal base with a large protruding bolt adds to the hazard in this high-pedestrian area near a transit shelter.

Description

FFormer traffic signal base has large bolt, sticking up in the middle of sidewalk, tripping hazard for visually impaired people. South east corner of Portland Richmond
