Maybe they'll finally do something to fix it. what I reported to them: "the gutters on both sides of the bridge (Riverside and Thornton) have been ice-covered and hazardous since the school kids were out for Xmas break. After one snow during break there was no snow removal; Streets left a windrow at both gutters. A week later it was removed, but the ice had solidified. It has been sanded, but with the recent snow and little or no snow removal, it is again ice-covered and hazardous. My bike spun out today even with studded tires. Definitely needs resanding." Engineering, which I think is responsible for this bridge, apparently thinks no one uses the bridge when the kids are not at school. At least no snow removal was done during the two-week period and the problems persist, with each new snow. In my case, it wasn't helped by the fact that an SUV suddenly started driving backward at about 20 mph right into my path, no doubt abetting the defensive spin-out.
