 Truman Road in Independence is currently getting a facelift that includes new bicycle-friendly grates.The old grates were a parallel-bar design dangerous for bicyclists. The new grates are "curved-vane" grates, one of the best and most bicycle-friendly designs available. Kudos to MoDOT for making a very bicycle-friendly improvement! Hopefully such bicycle-friendly grates will become the MoDOT standard.  The upper photo shows the old grate and the lower photo shows the new bicycle-friendly grate.
