Cleaning the Parkway

The 110 Freeway, aka Arroyo Seco Parkway, from Pasadena to downtown has all the makings of being a beautiful freeway.  Besides it's historical significance, it's topography and geography makes it unique among the Southern California freeways with its twists and turns (a nightmare when it rains because Angelenos don't know how to drive in wet conditions!), the greenery for most of the distance on both sides and the way it hugs the arroyo.  But so much more can be done to pretty it up.  I won't start with the graffiti in certain sections (I'll save that for later), but let's do start with the trash.  My God, let's finally get rid of all that crap especially on the southbound side.  Plastic bags caught on branches, roadway debris that's accumulated for years, and what about that straightaway in the Highland Park section?  You know, where that chain link fence runs down the side and the homeless have called home on the other side of the fence.  Tires, containers, litter, traffic cones, downed signs and even a downed streetlamp that's been resting by the side for over a year.  It pretty much stays shitty all the way to the downtown four-level interchange.  I drive from Pasadena to downtown almost everyday, and I'm disgusted almost everyday with all that trash.  Caltrans, can you hear me?
