Dangerous Grate (wrong type & orientation)
This should be a "checkerboard" iron grate so that it can't catch bike wheels. (All other grates around Medford High seem correct). Location is slightly uphill from the "drop off loop" in front of Medford High, just before the turn up to the Voke/Pool.
It is dangerous because is a highway grate oriented as if it were on an interstate, and could catch bike/scooter/rollerblade wheels, wedging them between the bars and flipping the person face-first onto the pavement.
If the grate can't be swapped for a checkerboard-style, it should at least turned 90degrees either way, so that skinny tires will rumble across rather than drop and wedge.
