This is about two things. There are bush honeysuckles growing out that are about half-blocking the sidewalk. Just a matter of time before it's completely impossible to pass by. Also, trash bins and mattress are lying by the street in the grassy area, which is also blocking someone who wants/needs to walk that way.
During trash pick-up today, the trucks doing the work were leaking significant amounts of oil or hydraulic fluid at each stop. Because of this morning's rain, this left an iridescent pool at every pick-up location. We appreciate the great service provided, but both the trucks and the neighborhoods would be much better off without the leaking oils left behind. I suspect those trash trucks are very expensive, and will survive longer with regular maintenance.
