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.

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? -Dar http://www.wisgov.state.wi.us/journal_media_detail.asp?locid=19&prid=250 8 "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." ________________________________ Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo!
