For nearly 20 years I have bicycled the sidewalk and been horrified by the trash that floats at the edge, most often following a rain. I brought this to the City's attention & heard a rediculous response...'it's the fault of the landscapers who blow debri into the storm gutters'. No matter whose 'fault', are we not responsible? Can we not implement those floating barriers that would catch the debri (styrafoam, plastic bottles, horrible amounts of leaves) and scoop them up into the trash & out of the water?!
