There is an unfortunate pile of sand in the bike lane at Whitis and 30th that has been there for quite some time. Unfortunately, while riding last night, I forgot about this sand and my bike slid sideways causing me to break my arm. I have learned that one of my friends slipped on it over a year ago, she dialed 311 to complain but nothing was done. I have also complained via 311.

Do we as cyclists have any legal rights to a clear and safe bike lane? Who is responsible for cleaning this up and why wasn't it done? It seems pretty easy and cheap to fix.
