Pathetic efforts to clean roads by Darebin council contractors
I am required to ride through the section of road outlined down the Westgarth end of high street northcote to get to work.
Yesterday on my way to work some dropkick had smashed the Telstra phone booth and thrown the glass all over the road. It was particularly noticeable because it was dark. I picked the bike up and just walked around it.
It’s already a terrible place to have to cycle but then today they had ‘cleaned up’ what was there so I stayed on my bike. Going over the stretch I see this sudden glistening in the road approaching but it was too late, went straight over it and got a flat.
When I stopped again there were remnants of glass literally all over the road still. It’s an issue enough that dickheads here see smashing public utility as a fun activity but then to have the clean up crew also be incompetent and shoving all the problem to where bikes are going to be on the road.
I wish I photographed the road today but I was so fuming it passed my mind entirely.
I hate living here.
