Hi, I went over there yesterday afternoon and measured the holes myself. I'm not sure what type of ruler Jerry was using, but I measured that the valve boxes were between two and three inches under the street surface, especially in the 25 and 29 South, and in the 60s, closer to the railroad tracks. There are also two unfilled holes on the SW corner of Corry and Milwaukee. That drop could be enough to break a spoke or knock a bike out of alignment.

We believe that this to be within specification.

This is the most asinine city response I've ever seen. Broken spokes for bikes, because somebody screwed up in paving the street??????

If you want to see if you can get them raised, call the Water Utility office at: 266-4641.

See message below for more. Message: The street was completely repaved due to sewer replacement. It's made it a speedway as cars avoid Waubesa, which has speed bumps. But the little water things that are in the street not manhole covers are several inches below the street, and thus serious problems for bicycles. Larry Nelson told me these can be raised. Noted some bad ones near 59 or 69? Corry, near the tracks, and around 29. There are also two bad holes right on the southbound side of the street by Milwaukee Street. The requester can be contacted
