You posed quite a challenge. I am a member of the Platinum Bike Committee, but today I could have walked faster than biking on the counterflow.
The issue you raised is a high priority recommendation on Page 20 in the Final Platinum Committee Report. Please note Part B- Winter: Update, improve, and implement a written street, path, bridge/tunnel and bicycle parking maintenance policy. Details : The policy should include two distinct parts. A. General or Routine: Policy should include surface and joint repair, glass & debris pickup, frequency of service, and maintenance of bicycle racks and removal of abandoned bicycles and bicycle parts, maintenance of signs and markings, and trimming of trees B. Winter: Policy should include timeliness, level of service for bike lanes, paths, and select local street bike routes (such as Kendall Street, Olin- Turville Park and East Wilson Street) and snow removal at all public bicycle racks. The detail for plowing should be published in map format on the city’s website so that the public knows what to expect for trip planning and requests for changes. There should also be a "one-stop" phone number for all city related issues that is published on the city web site (that would correspond to "report a problem" on the website) and signed at select locations so that bicyclists may immediately report problems.
