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.
