Not to mention the "no fishing from bridge" signs - either enforce it or put a garbage can there.

There isn't much to do in New Haven as ADULTS, and I actually think it is nice to see the neighborhood people getting together to fish and enjoy the neighborhood. I see whole families out there. The city should place a few trash cans on the bridge to help keep the bridge clean. These young men could be hanging across the street with the drug dealers . The police spend more time harassing the fishermen--and chasing them off the bridge-- then fighting the crime thats going on all around the fishermen.

I'm all for them fishing and happy to see the community coming together around a good activity, but they're leaving a filthy mess on the bridge. I don't know why we need to excuse that with "well at least they're not dealing drugs" if you don't think they need a push to clean up for themselves (they're adults, after all) then maybe you'd like to get out there and clean up for them. :)

Winter on its way, no more fishing.
