Sidewalks

I know this is again a little off track, but I wish there was some way to draw attention to the sidewalks on campus, and how many of them there are that serve no purpose.  Like how the signs all contradict each other and tell people they can't walk in this spot, but you can walk 3 feet over from where you wanted to.  What especially angers me are the cars on campus.  They drive around like they own the sidewalk, and they park wherever they want.  I saw a CenturyLink car parked in the middle of the lawn today, just idling, crushing the nice grass and making lots of noise.  Can't the U ask the people they hire to fix things to be a little more considerate?  Just because they were hired for an on campus job doesn't mean that they can exploit every person, place, and resource on campus to make their job as easy as possible.  People live here.  It's an organism, and the people who work here, like the CenturyLink guy and the construction workers don't care or understand that people live here.  They don’t care about the health of this campus, they aren't invested in it.  They are just here, and they perform their job without caring about the health of the place they have been hired to improve.  It’s not their fault, they have no reason to care.  But the U should care, and they don't.  Now there's probably a lot about the process the workers here go through that I don't understand, so I'm trying not to be too bothered by it.  (Sigh).
