Update: It looks like JCIA did come by late Friday afternoon and dumped some sort of gravel/kitty litter along the curb to soak up the antifreeze. They just left it there, though, and didn't sweep it up. I guess it'll get swept up when the street sweeper makes its next pass on Tuesday - that is, if it doesn't get washed away by all this rain. Still, this is better than the total inaction I was anticipating.

Yeah, I guess JCIA can't afford to run to Target for kitty litter or some Speedy Dry. Not that we ever have accidents or car breakdowns in this city because so few people drive these days. *sigh* I guess JCIA relies on the wreckers and JCFD to clean up.

- Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Antifreeze cleanup: A lot of kitty litter, wait a few minutes, then sweep. Good point though... if someone sees anyone changing their oil or flushing their radiator, they should call the non emergency number for the police. The more these people are ticketed, the less you will see someone getting a tune up, oil change, and full service on city streets. It happens too often.

Fair point. I guess I've been living on Wayne Street too long and seeing all that happens on this street, it's all too easy to simply assume the worst in people. But you're definitely right that there are other possibilities.

Quite a regular

Good info on who to call, but there are other possibilities...
maybe that's where the car overheated and they popped the radiator cap, or perhaps their radiator hose busted or lost it's clamp... not denying that it's also possible that someone decided to dump anti-freeze there, but there are other conclusions you could jump to.

Was just now coming home from errands and noticed the distinct green liquid sitting along the curb on Wayne, just east of Barrow. Some idiot decided the street would be a good place to flush their radiator. WTF?! What a moron!! Do they not realize that anything that runs off into the city sewers eventually ends up back in our drinking water?? If I had known who this person was and seen them in action, I most certainly would've called the authorites and taken pictures. Mayor's Action Bureau said they couldn't do anything unless I could report a specific person or license plate number...They sent me to the Incinerator Authority, which said they'll try to contact a clean-up crew, but it didn't sound promising as they don't have the capability to mop up hazardous materials. Just had to vent...Some days, I REALLY HATE JC. This is one of them.
Anyway, if someone happened to be walking along Wayne Street - my guess is this happened AFTER the street sweeper rolled through around 10:15 and BEFORE noon -and saw something that might identify the culprit, please call the Mayor's Action Bureau at 547-4900. Also, dog owners should take care when walking their dogs in that vicinity until the next big rainfall.
