RFS 12360 assigned. If received outside of normal business hours, we will investigate this issue on the next business day.

The Air Show is a violent militaristic exercise in abject nationalism - the people visiting BTV for that don't care about your slightly odd search for out-of-the-way trash. Please use this forum for serious issues, VToutdoor.

I think the trash constantly left all over town is a serious issue. My family also had to step around that particular pile of trash today. I appreciate that it was reported and that at least some folks in the community want a clean town.

Why was your family walking, "Behind spray painted gnome" - that would place them in the brush on the incline between Battery Park Extension and Waterfront Park. I want a clean town as much as the next person but your comment is questionable and, along with this post, distracts and takes time away from the more serious issues Burlington faces.

Adeilis, It does not matter the event; the trash throughout the city is an issue. The ability to report this trash is the exact reason the City uses SCF. Are you in favor of illegal dumping in Burlington? You are entitled to your opinion, we now know you are intolerant of anyone who does not conform to your lifestyle. Please leave your negative personal opinions off SCF and go back to FPF.

Oh and I saw no violence at the Air Show. Very well done! Were you offended by the biplane flying loopty loops or the glider?

There is a walking path down to the water front from battery park. We were following a group of elderly people with canes who handled the terrain with ease. Very nice short cut; many people ulitized this path today. Once again your infavor of leaving trash in Burlington 10 ft from the gnome?

There is a well used gravel path exactly at that point that many people use to access the buildings below as well as the waterfront. Many people used it today. The trash is a legitimate problem. I'd say your judgemental description of the folks watching the air show is the questionable and distracting aspect of this "discussion", Aedilis.

Thank you Haidee for your practical words

VToutdoor - imagine for a second you're someone with anxiety issues or someone's pet. Or go even further and put yourself in the place of an Iraqi or Afghani whose days are filled with the thunderous invasion we suffered today - for one day - prior to explosives raining down upon their everyday life. I cannot comment towards you any further than that if you're going to insist on existing in your first world out-of-the-way-trash/"loopty loops" giberish. And Haidee DeLuca, I'm sorry this conversation got too "distracting" for your very important conversation about trash around a city of 40,000 people...

This is a posting about trash. Please take your political agenda elsewhere. Its not distracting, its inappropriate. I could continue, but its pointless.

No worries - your post is definitely about trash.

Acknowledged

Any follow-up?

Parks will initiate the request to the Police Dept.

So the officers near the trash pile during the air show did nothing. 10 days have passed since reporting, nothing has happened, and it is now forwarded to the Police Dept. Not impressed.

Code Enforcement acknowledged it twice and did nothing.

Parks just checked in with the Police outreach worker that specifically assists with these types of issues. We're checking to see that it is in process. We see the response time has been delayed and will update asap.

I don't understand. What type of issue is this?

This is the type of issue where we'd rather know as much as we can about the individual before approaching. Police and community outreach just emailed back that they have a good idea of who is staying there and will make contact early tomorrow and explain they can't be there and coordinate clean up.

There is no individual, empty airplane booze bottles, a bag of trash, and a dirty muddy blanket. It is 20 ft from the road. This is not about illegal camping, its about the trash.

Park crews went to clean it up at eight this morning. There was an individual sleeping. They went back an hour later and he was combing his hair and brushing his teeth.

Ah, there is more to the story. Well thank you then. CE said they would take care of it and then nothing. Thank you for the whole story and for your services to the City.

Follow-up?

All items were removed and/or thrown away. We're not convinced the camper won't return, but t was cleaned up on Friday of last week.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
