This is a water valve that cant be covered up.

FMontoya, i fell at the spot, my footing went into the water valve/hole. I hurt my right elbow, dropped and shattered my cell phones screen. Water valve should not be in a crosswalk. I recommend smoothing it, painting it yellow it red or moving it out of crosswalk. Do not close this issue until it is dealt with satisfactorily.

Can a valve cover be used that is less likely to cause injury?
