Grate news: Several sewer grates stolen on North Side

From the PG:

Pittsburgh police warned drivers and pedestrians today to be careful out on the road because they are investigating the thefts of more than a dozen sewer or drainage grates on the North Side.


Nine sewer grates stolen from Riverview Park, as well as some drain gratings from elsewhere in the North Side. Be careful up there.

Attention Thieves: Kindly steal only these dangerous longitudinal drain grates.


Attention Local Governments: Kindly replace all stolen dangerous longitudinal drain grates with safe bike-friendly drain grates.


Lemons to lemonade, just that simple. :-)


(Seriously, this is scary. I'll be taking the lane a lot more until they catch this jerk, especially at night.)

Not funny that the PG article does not mention cyclists of either the pedaled or motorized variety.
