> Can I expect the city to take care of this?

Conclusion: apparently not, or, at least, not within two days on a holiday weekend.

I would like to better understand this for the general case, especially when one runs into broken glass on a main city street (not like this!) where running home to get a broom is impractical, and unlike car drivers, one cannot be expected to carry a dustpan/brush everywhere.

p.s.: Skipped the hose, it might rain.

(err, that's from the perspective of a cyclist, which I guess wasn't 100% clear; also our tires are more vulnerable and we ride in an area of the roadway that collects more detritus)
