# Park - General Request, 18 Rubens Place, Burnside, Christchurch 8053, New Zealand

Burnside, Christchurch · filed 2 October 2026 · report 9017253
https://www.chch.live/report/9017253

> Concealed hole in the grass, next to footpath. I estimate it as approx 75x30cm in area, 15-20cm deep. Location and depth shown by my bike bag in the photos. This is a trip hazard for pedestrians, and a dangerous crash hazard for cyclists taking evasive action to avoid pedestrians. While I don't ever plan to cycle on the grass I needed to take urgent evasive action this morning but the hole caused me to crash. Suggest minor earthworks to fill in the hole, with urgency.
