Trees and brush along the expressway tend to trap flying debris and garbage during the winter, unfortunately. In my time living in the area, I can tell you that a handful of homeless folks tend to hole up around in there and may leave their trash behind. Take a walk about the Circle and over by Roosevelt & Des Plaines and you'll see what I mean. May not be as prevalent now due to the reconstruction of the interchange, but still...

I'm sure that it will at least be cleaned up by the City in the spring. Of course, that greenery might be torn out anyway, so we shall see.
