It really is an ongoing problem there. Just last week, the section underneath Verona Rd was completely covered with multiple kinds of glass. It was there for 2-3 days before getting swept.
Report-a-problem seems to get a pretty swift response for broken glass generally, but I wonder if key problem areas like this should just be on a routine sweeping schedule? Also, it'd be great to have a smartphone app for RAP that made it easier/faster to log issues. You could theoretically snap a picture and send the location automatically with two or three taps (your personal info would be stored in the app). The way it's set up now takes quite a bit of typing and doesn't really facilitate on-the-spot reporting. Grant On Fri, Apr 11, 2014 at 8:19 AM, Mark Maffitt <[email protected]>wrote: > Ahhh.
