Are leaf piles a bike safety hazard?

A story in the Portland Tribune today, Fall bounty piles on problems, profiles a Laurelhurst couple who are concerned that leaf piles in their neighborhood might “someday cost a bicyclist or a pedestrian or a motorist his life.”
At issue are huge piles of leaves raked into the street by homeowners. They expect PDOT crews to pick them up, even though it’s not technically PDOT’s job (they’re only supposed to clean up leaves that fall from trees that overhang into the street).
Bike safety marketing examples from San Francisco
Thought I’d share the latest bike safety marketing campaign from those creative and innovative advocates in San Francisco.
A reader passed along this series of ad graphics which touch on several recurring issues we’ve been discussing a lot lately here in Portland like: blind spots, crossing streetcar tracks, using lights at night, and respecting bike lanes.
These ads were the result of a partnership between the San Francisco Bike Coalition and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.

County bike advisory committee seeks new members
The Multnomah County Bicycle Pedestrian Citizens Advisory Committee (BPCAC) — which advises the Board of County Commissioners and Transportation Division on matters involving bicycle and pedestrian transportation within the County’s road jurisdiction — is announcing an opening for several positions.
Here’s the word from Multnomah County’s Michael Lynch:
“I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that the Multnomah County Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee is searching for a number of new members. Particularly with the recent bike safety issues, the committee’s advisory capacity to the County Commission has gained importance.
