I think we all owe Sport Trac/k a great big "attaboy" for driving this
issue home with the appropriate authorities and, unbelievably, actually
getting something done about it! Way to go, Will! I think
it's great news. Like AZCachemeister said, "That's the best of both
worlds...the median gets cleaned up, and WE don't have to do it."
We can all feel a little more pride when we pass that
Adopt-a-highway sign.
On a (barely) related note, the AJACS crew has developed a CITO Highway Median Cleanup Kit
that, if used properly, can be as equally effective as a "contract
crew." Just like last year, will be giving one of these kits away
as a prize at the A.J.A.C.S. 2nd Annual Campout Event Cache (Mar. 17. 18 & 19.) You can view the kit on the cache page (GCT6QK) or at this link:

DISCLAIMER: It's a joke, folks. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
I jumped a few levels and spoke with a higher up at ADOT last week
regarding the median. He drove the Beeline, inspected the median and
agreed it was very bad. He called back, thanked us for our "vim and
vigor" but declined our offer. He has hired a contract crew to clean
up the median from about N. Mesa drive all the way to Shea. They
started today. I saw them on the way to work. I spoke with him a few
minutes ago and he said they inspected the first mile after the crew
passed and they had 30 bags from just the median in the first mile. It
may take a few weeks but they are working on it! Next event we will
hopefully see a cleaner median.
