This is a press release from the City of Arcata:

I would think that Arcata, of all places, would be more sensitive to revised cultural expectations.

Personhole, please.

Calling it a manhole does a disservice to those gender neutral individuals who might need to get all up in it.

Sewer access or something to that effect might be better. No one goes down there anymore to my knowledge.
I know your post is meant to be sarcastic but it actually has merit. There is no “workmen” signage anymore, merely “workers”.

So the “reprogramming” we’ve been hearing about from celebrities and some national news outlets is starting in… Arcata???! And they want to rehabilitate our manholes? Thought their main concern is what was coming out of our pie holes.

Let’s see how this goes…

Arcata should rehabilitate their potholes first. Maybe they can start with the big one in the intersection of Giuntoli Lane and Valley West Boulevard.
