Unfortunately, there's not a lot that can be done if the existing infrastructure below ground requires that the cover is where it is. Rebuilding what's underneath can be pretty expensive, and the origin of this bad design may be centuries ago. :(
(It's a problem for bike riders in the main, and people who don't ride bikes usually have no idea it is even a problem, so you may get bad design like that even today.)
