Hi, I know the town crew is very busy and there is lots of do. However, in recent weeks myself and others have begun using the river walk more again. As we know, the Shelton side has limited "official" parking as does Ansonia. I believe three spots and one is handicapped.
That said, the older "commuter lot" (not sure what to call it because it predates the river walk and had to have been build for a reason) is now becoming Ansonia river walk parking. There are often a half dozen cars there on nice days. They simply park there where the other lots are full and walk over.
It's great this is available but it seems to not be on the "radar" as far as being maintained and cleaned. As this photo shows there is a lot of trash piling up around the edges and in the lot itself. The lot could use some sprucing up due to use and location but I'm not asking that.
Since this lot has no real other purpose now but to be overflow river walk parking can be be checked and cleaned weekly during Spring - Fall? Yes, it could use a few trees and some repaving but all I ask is clean up. Even if you don't have to park there everyone on the river walk looks over and see trash all over this lot and grass. I'm sure this was just overlooked. Thanks!

OK I'm going to applaud Ansonia today because the city maintenance crew was actually out mowing the lawn around this parking lot today making it look much better. Thank you!
However unless their next task is to immediately clean up tons of garbage after I passed by it's now blowing up onto the Riverwalk. I realize Public Works is busy I realize they have other things they want to do. However this parking lot now "belongs " to users of the Riverwalk and must be maintained and cleaned regularly. Thank you for the mowing now let's get back with a trash truck.
