Dumping on the Bike Lane?

Trash cans line the bike lane on the southern section of Eagle Rock Boulevard.

For much of Wednesday, the bike lane on Eagle Rock Boulevard between Avenue 40 and Verdugo Road in Glassell Park featured four black-colored trash cans that cyclists were forced to maneuver around.

Within a span of about five minutes during which these photos were taken around 3:15 p.m., two bicyclists headed north on Eagle Rock Boulevard pedaled around the unsightly obstacles. Two other bikers escaped the nuisance—but only because they were riding on the sidewalk.

Is this what lies in store for Eagle Rock's bike lanes—callous residents or stakeholders all but dumping their garbage in the only space reserved exclusively for bikers?
