Martyrs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs_Bridge_%28Bamako%29) (2-lane with two pedestrian sections) and the [King Fahd Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Fahd_Bridge_%28Bamako%29) (four-lane with two motorcycle and two pedestrian sections).[60](60/ "tree and pragmatics") Additionally, a seasonal causeway between the eastern neighborhoods of Sotuba and Misabugu was inherited

throughout the city.[71](71/ "tree and pragmatics") After privatization, not only did many waste collectors become unemployed but the corporation that they enlisted to do the job was collecting only 30% of Bamako's waste.[72](72/ "tree and pragmatics") The garbage build up creates toxic living conditions and it only worsens when it rains.[73](73/ "tree and pragmatics") Due to the prevalence of waste in Bamako's streets, including informal dumping sites near a school, citizens have taken to protesting, marching and it has even escalated to the point of property damage.[\[26\]](page/2/#ref-26
