Voila! I left a shadow topic in Weather and Clothing, since the thread
has tons-o-relevance in the winter months.

The bike lanes of 2nd Street N where it's north of Lowry Ave are littered with scrap metal debris and broken glass. I wouldn't say I ride that a lot, but I do use it a few times a season and its worse than I've ever seen it. Two flats in that area zone yesterday made for a frustrating run to the Coon Rapids dam. I dropped a note to 311 requesting a sweep.

Tempted to crack out a google map for this kind of thing.

I'll probably get lazy not update it

Actually, that seems like a good thing to use Cyclopath for. I'm not sure if there's a street debris tag, but if people were responsible about updating the tags they'd entered once the street was cleaned, it could be a cool improvement to the auto-routing.

Over 126 cars damage in window smashing spree. Corcoran, Ericsson and Standish neighborhoods. So you know, watch out for glass. http://bit.ly/nivzPA

Holy crap. I hope the parents of those kids get their asses handed to them.

The boys were using a pickup truck to drive around and smash car windows. Car on car violence!

there is a damaged manhole cover in the bike lane on Park just north of the intersection of 35th street. Its missing a portion of its edge and is inline with the direction of travel. It is large enough to hook a wheel.

I did call 311 to report it.

There is a tree down across the MDT just north of the Hillside Cemetery entrance (about 200 yards) blocking the trail from fence to fence. It's more or less portage-able, however, use caution.

I saw that tree fall about 50 feet in front of me on the way home from work on Friday. Good thing I was going slow. I forgot to post about it, thanks.
