I have seen the sweeper on the Neck Road but come on?!?! It is such a joke. Whatever the sweeper does to clean it up gets pushed right back on by traffic and rain. This bike/walking/jogging path is the biggest disaster next to the Big Dig. I understand that there were some issues with regard to not being able to elevate it due to plows. I just do not understand why they didn't pave the whole lane and why they left the gravel gap between the road and the path. I have heard the party line is that they didn't want it to be used by cars going around traffic or as a breakdown lane or whatever. Well guess what cars still use it to pass turning traffic and that is what causes the mess. I have seen bikes using the road for god sakes because the path is such a mess!
