Opinion Benoît K.
This seems worth doing, but only if local residents are involved in maintaining it.

As a delivery rider I use this route daily — the problem is worst between 7 and 9.
Suggestion Clémence O.
Combine this with the existing Saturday clean-up so volunteers are already there.

How this is calculated. Only statements (arguments, concerns, alternatives, suggestions, common ground) can be weighed, once per person, as agree, disagree or unsure. Shares are of the people who responded to that statement — not of residents, and not of everyone on the platform. Popularity is not truth: a statement with broad agreement can still be wrong, and a minority concern can be decisive. Nothing here is a vote or a decision. Full methodology
