Description
Litter is constantly being tossed from cars at this intersection. I was wondering if the neighborhood alderman would try to get some anti-litter signs near this corner and along ella t grasso blvd. to whalley ave. For example, "Keep Beaver Hills Beautiful. Don't Litter". The amount of people I see tossing garbage out of their windows is disgusting. Maybe a sign is the first step to neighborhood awareness.

I respectfully disagree. Signs have absolutely no effect. Just check out the litter along the north side of Edgewood Park on Edgewood Avenue where "Do Not Litter Signs" have been posted for years.
These folks are more concerned with the cleanliness of the interior of their cars than the space we share.
It's unfortunate but we responsible citizens are going to have to continue to clean up after the pigs.
Perhaps early education might work but with all the schools have on their plates now I hesitate to add one more responsibility.

Agree that litter is a problem throughout the city; it is a daily occurrence for me to pick up some form of trash in front of my house everyday but I am happy to say that it has gotten to be much less than it used to be because I think people finally appreciate the fact that I'm trying to keep my house and curb neat. That's not to say that I don't sometimes come out in the morning to find a pull plate or bag of food thrown out in the street or on my tree belt...
Signage would be nice but it's the behavior that has to change and I'm not sure how a sign does that but it may be worth looking into. I agree too with Paula that it would be great to see our alders here being aware of and taking part in the conversations. We need to make that happen!
