While the other issues George raises are important, it is the broken glass that really renders this section of the trail unusable to bicyclists. Weekly sweeping is clearly not enough. DAILY sweeping of this short section would probably be barely adequate. No doubt the city will object to the cost, but the alternative is an expensive bike path which cannot be used for its intended purpose. (I'm sure I'm not the only cyclist who as tired of carrying my bike over the glass piles.) Obviously, there are larger social issues involved, but in the immediate future more frequent sweeping would be of great benefit to trail users. -- Scott Ellington Madison, Wisconsin USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---- "It is evident that if humanity is to have a future, then the untrammeled capitalism we have known, and which is the root of the environment's decline, can have none." --Abraham Pais _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
