One monthly tradition in downtown Knoxville is causing concern as some residents appear to be upset about the timeliness of clean-up following the events.  One citizen addressed the Knoxville City Council at their meeting Monday about the amount of beer bottles and cigarette butts outside his business the day after Bike Nite on July 2nd.  In addition, the man stated that the garbage cans were not emptied for a week and there were not enough portable toilets available.  City Manager Dick Schrad says they will be speaking with the event organizers in order to get a better handle on the clean-up situation but from what he understands those responsible for Bike Nite do regularly go through and pick up after the event.
