This was seen on a bike ride on Sept. 13 along the Ballona Creek bike path.  Just a garbage truck driving in the creek.  We saw him twice, he was covering a fairly large territory!

I'm glad they don't remove trees though when this happens like they would in Ottawa.  It looks like they have tried to smooth it out a bit periodically with some asphalt patching.  This one is on Sierra Bonita, between Melrose and Santa Monica Blvd.
