The University, that big ogre, requires some undergraduates to walk fifteen minutes to the B-School parking lot every time they want to use their cars. Though spring is here and the path is clear, in winter this journey becomes Dangerous as well as Bothersome; extensive ice patches cover the untended foot bridges over the river and Soldiers' Field Road.
Legal responsibility for maintaining these bridges lies with their owner, the Metropolitan District Commission. However, as 550 undergraduates park their cars in the B-School lot (bringing the University a monthly income of some $2,750), perhaps Buildings and Grounds could send someone over from time to time to sand down the path. And someone else might put a new bulb in the floodlight standing near Soldiers' Field Road.
As far as Soldiers' Field Road, the journey is dangerous; from there to the parking lot it is merely muddy. But Buildings and Grounds might even replace this marsh with an asphalt path. Boy, they would be snazzy.
