Originally we planned to do this work on Saturday. With that initiating #InfrastructureAwarenessSaturday where every so often we'll fix a minor issue on #infrastructure we use in our daily life. As the weather cooperated, today the path had a nice puddle that would be satisfying to see drain. Naturally our Site Safety Plan was ready & checked by H&S. So we moved the works to today. After we set up perimeter security we dug the trench. It went well (we ignore the sliced worm). #RightToRepair

#parenting tip: go fix local infrastructure with your kid. It beats spending an hour in the sandbox. Bonus points: your local infrastructure gets fixed as well. Here in #Denmark this type of issue would probably be acknowledged as "an issue" but then never fixed as the assigned priority would have a half life higher than tellurium-128. And probably for good reason, as kids can fix this :-)

For next #InfrastructureAwarenessSaturday the Hobbit (operations manager and traffic control) and I (H&S manager and general labour) might tackle another local annoyance just a couple 100 meters further on the same #bike lane. There's a traffic slowing device (photo, blue line) as Danish #infrastructure planners consider all cyclists inconsiderate idiots. Even on our fast cargobikes this requires a massive slowdown. Tarmac also hits gravel here. Plan is to ease the grassy corner with gravel.
