Intentional glass in SB Elston lane

Fiancé just texted me about this spot - just south of that train bridge on SB Elston, just north of the Milwaukee intersection.

Someone laid out a bunch of glass in two strips, about 15 feet apart. It's 3-4 colors and way too neat to be accidental. Heads up so you're not changing flat tires tonight (or tomorrow morning on your commute) too!

(And if anyone has a little brush and can sweep it aside, that would probably be faster than waiting for scheduled street sweeping. I'll see what I can help clean up as I ride north later tonight!)

I know the feeling. Well done!

I've seen this type of 'haters' activity before. Augusta Blvd.'s bike lane was filled with auto glass from California to Damen a few years back.

The second pile looks to be mostly cleaned up. I only spotted the first of the two. I tried my best to brush it aside with a few papers I had, but it wasn't the most effective. Watch out for many, many little shards that are still out there.
