This has been reported at least three times: vacant lot between entrance to Berry Lane Park and auto shop next door on Communipaw

When is “Monticello Triangle” expected to break ground? If not this summer, please do something about the litter and trash build up. It has been a dumping ground along the sidewalk and on the vacant lot for far too many years! Thank you.

Earlier this year I made a request to have Essex Street cleaned either monthly or quarterly. And though I was notified that a city department would monitor cleaning and the litter situation, I watched as the curbs became overrun with weeds and the trash accumulated to almost 3 inches next to the curb. This is not only an eyesore, but allowing trash to accumulate curbside leads to sewer drainage issues and public health threats. Today, I spent over an hour taking a first pass at cleaning up the section of the curb in front of my apartment at 138. Among other things, I found a hypodermic needle, shorts, 3 socks, a drill bit, broken bottles, cans and plastic bottles. I ran into two neighbors who wholeheartedly agreed that the city needs to address trash and other issues on Essex Street, which gets a short shrift when it comes to maintenance due to the Light Tail. Accordingly, I request a modest street cleaning schedule to be put in place - even quarterly would make a world of difference. We endure all of the many annoyances/inconveniences of the Light Rail, and we should not also be charged with maintaining the safety and cleanliness of the street. Thank you for addressing this issue — I know the neighborhood will be grateful for the cleanup!
