Share the Sidewalks,RU Maintenance!
Tonya Pettigrew Shoves Back
Last semester I let you know about how annoying it is to get bumped off RU's sidewalks by normal pedestrians. Today, I want to complain about an even worse sidewalk offender: RU maintenance guys.

Picture this: You're walking down the sidewalk, minding your own business, when you catch a glimpse of a flashing orange-yellow light. Oh, no! A maintenance go-cart is coming your way!

What should you do? To your left is a pile of day old snow. To your right is a mud puddle. And coming straight for you is a glorified golf cart with two angry looking maintenance workers riding inside.

Admittedly, it probably won't hurt you to get your feet wet or stand in snow, but that's not the point. The point is: why don't the maintenance guys be a little more considerate to us students?

How hard would it be for the maintenance carts to drive in the grass? How difficult would it be for them to wait and let you scoot around them?

And what is up with those big white vans totally taking over the sidewalk? They leave absolutely no room to get around them.

Finally, if you have a personal horror story about these go-carts, or if you've actually been run over by one of them, let me know. Maybe we could start a petition...
