<p>I submitted the form. We have had the same four bikes taking up the rack in front of our store front. Many of our customers ride and have to lock up to sign posts etc.. The cyclist part of me just wants these bikes shown some love. </p>

<p>When you call 311 you can ask for a Service Request Tracking Number, SR#- and then call back later and ask for a status report with that number. If you do ask for, and get this number it's less likely to be ignored.<br></br></p>

This is something that needs to be rectified if the city is really serious about bicycling. It's just too easy to blow off a 311 call -no paper trail if they don't want to bother with it.</p>

Wow!! Such good news! I hope this means that this program is finally starting to get some much-needed attention. Hopefully the abandoned bike in front of your apartment is taken care of quickly. The only advice I can give is to be persistent about it. Good luck!<br></br>
