Sooner or later someone is going to break a leg or worse at this spot.

There's a spot on the cycle route into town is badly designed.

It's one of those concerete grids you get with vertical channels to encourage cyclists to use that spot of the pavement, while the other bit of the pavement has horizontal channels to deter cyclists by being bumpy to ride over.

Most of these grids are fine - but one is designed different to all the rest.

It is on the Sankey Way cycle route as you come to the Pink Eye roundabout, just by the pedestrian underpass for from Wellfield Street.

The grid is narrower and higher than the rest.

The result is it's very slippy, even when dry, and is at a point where you have to make a sharp turn to follow the cycleway.

I've slipped and nearly fallen off here three times, even at very low speeds.

Get a kid in the wet going fast and you could be looking at a bad injury.

So why can't it be replaced by one of the other grids used elsewhere on the cycleway?
