OK.... I am only posting this to Bikes instead of the long list that george
included. If anyone wants to pass it on to an alder, police, other city
official, etc.... go tight ahead.

Since we are talking about glass.... My pet peeve is the guaranteed glass
obstacle course on W Dayton St. There is always glass in the bike lanes on
garbage day (Thursday) - especially the 400-500 blocks. Not sure if the
garbage collectors aren't being careful or the tenents along there are
slobs. There is also sure if be stinking garbage such as food, paper,
unidentified metal, food containers, etc.  Very unpleasant. This problem
seems to be worst in the fall - maybe the students have lots of money to
party and/or haven't learned to be responsible adults yet.

The other time that glass is sure to be present is after football games
(basketball and hockey too if they weather us warm). In this case the
problem is worst near Camp Randall. I called the Streets Dept and suggested
they sweep after every home game. The problem is that W Dayton is half
"east side streets" and half "west side streets", so I always get told to
call the other number.

I think the University is a wonderful thing, and I like having the students
around.... I just wish more were considerate and community-minded when it
comes to disposal of trash.
