Anyone can go to the 'Report a problem' line on the City Web site
homepage and scroll down to the section about snowplowing.  Although
they ask you to report a street section that needs work they should act
on bike path plowing concerns.

Gripe for the Day: Dementral Field Bike Path is not plowed.

Moving on to bigger annoyances...I noticed that in the Governor's State
of the State (partial text below), he made reference to the need to deal
with the issue of global warming and air quality.  That noise that you
just heard was Mike N gasping that I would actually care about such a
thing, but I do.  In the speech the Governor mentioned all kinds of ways
to address the issue of global warming...but he doesn't mention
bicycling and walking once.  He proposes a $40 million investment in
strategies to address the issue...but at the same time, he's not fully
funding programs that pay for facilities for biking and walking.  This
just seems crazy to me.

How can we make the powers that be understand that, if we all just
walked and biked a little more, the world would be such a better place?

"Over the past few years, the world has awakened to the growing,
accelerating threat of global warming.
There is no question that global warming demands immediate action by the
federal government.  It is a disgrace that so many national leaders have
turned a blind eye to what is a scientific fact.  Yet the scope and
consequences of this problem are so massive that the responsibility for
action rests not only with our leaders in Washington, but with all of
us.    
With new technology, and a commitment to renewable fuels, we can not
only reduce the carbon emissions that cause global warming, we can and
will help this nation kick its addiction to foreign oil.
In my budget, I'll propose the next major step forward in our effort to
become America's leader in energy independence - a $40 million
investment in renewable energy like solar, wind, hydrogen, biodiesel and
ethanol.  
We'll provide incentives to dramatically increase the availability of
E-85.  We'll move four university campuses off the power grid in the
next five years.  And next year, we'll more than double our commitment
to energy conservation.
Tonight, I am announcing a Governor's Task Force on Global Warming,
comprised of business, industry, labor, environmental, government and
community leaders to develop a comprehensive plan of action that we can
all get behind.
Of course, one state, acting alone, can't do everything.  But my fellow
citizens, we have a responsibility to do everything we can.  I ask you
to join me, and make a commitment that when it comes to global warming
solutions, Wisconsin will lead the way."
