A Barrhaven mother is worried a child might be seriously injured by an uncovered manhole on a residential street when kids return to school Tuesday morning.
Carmen Salinas said she almost stumbled into one of two uncovered rectangular manholes during a morning run on Monday just before 8 a.m. on Queensbury Drive, near the intersection with Woodroffe Avenue.
After her run, she said she called 311 to report the missing covers to the City of Ottawa. They are approximately 300 yards from Monsignor Paul Baxter Catholic School on Beatrice Drive. Students from kindergarten to Grade 6 attend the school.
When Salinas checked the sewers again Monday evening, only one of them was covered, and she’s not sure why. There is still a gaping hole in the sewer that sits at the foot of the driveway at 52 Queensbury Dr., she said.
“If I didn’t see it, I would have caught my leg in it. It’s putting the public at risk and it’s been 12 hours now,” she said.
With young families living in the area, she is worried a young child playing in the street or walking to school might not notice it and fall in.
“That’s always my concern. It’s just a safety issue,” she added.
City officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
