This weekend I took a friend down to the Greenway / Riverwalk off Division Street. Honestly, because it's longer I often will walk the Derby/Shelton side but we decided to start on the Ansonia side to see how far it goes (not nearly far enough..)
That said, we were stunned that the Ansonia side of the greenway is covered with dog poop. It's scattered all over one end to the other. We had to keep walking around it. We assumed this was an issue the greenway was having universally. WRONG!
We then crossed Division to walk the Derby/Shelton end. SPOTLESS! There wasn't even a piece of trash on the Derby or Shelton portions of the greenway. Ansonia, trash and dog droppings!
I know it's the owner's responsibility to clean this up, but clearly it is not happening at all. How Ansonia offices have not noticed it's greenway is filthy and Derby's is spotless escapes me but my hope is this message will get perhaps Public Works to add cleaning up the greenway to it's list of projects regularly. No, it shouldn't have to... but we can't let "our" side of the greenway look like this. No wonder so few people were on it and Derby's was packed!

So sad video cameras would be needed on the Ansonia side but not Derby. I have to wonder if it was wise to even build the Ansonia greenway if it only had funds for run a short distance. It really is a short strip that runs by a landfill and ends near a rusty railroad bridge. Where was it supposed to end? Are there plans to "complete" it? It invites trash and neglect as is.
At least the Derby/Shelton end GOES SOMEWHERE.

Magomama, I was there last Saturday and there was dog poop EVERYWHERE. Derby's site spotless. If it were any other animal it wouldn't just be on the walkway and that animal would not select to poop in Ansonia yet not in Derby.
Also, thank you Pat.. it's good to hear the overall plan. The current "dead end river walk" is almost always empty while the Derby site is quite active.

A "Riverwalk" in Ansonia that will LEAVE the river and go to Pershing Drive and down Main?!
Could it not have somehow crossed the river, remained behind Target, the train station, etc and at least been near the river and long enough to be enjoyable and not send people down city streets? Not exactly a scenic stroll.
