Description

I have a suggestion - I Love where I reside & I walk my dog about 8 blks. around my bldg. LITTERING IS RAMPANT on NE 4th & 5th Aves on a DAILY BASIS (sadly) but is DIRTY & QUITE EXCESSIVE AFTER ANY EVENT AT VINOY POINT OR WILLIAMS PARK. It's NOT as bad on Beach Drive, but still there is litter there too- but as attendees walk to their cars after these Big Events - it's horrid. I told an officer that initially upon moving here, I was picking up the trash until I picked up a potato chip bag FILLED WITH URINE! I would like to make a suggestion & request for SEVERAL TRASH RECEPTACLES ON EACH BKOCK - BOTH on 4th & 5th STREETS heading past University up to at least 2nd Ave. Additionally I feel because the receptacles are PAINTED BROWN people don't NOTICE THEM. I've had to LOOK for them myself. I feel our artistic City could support a "paint the trash can" type event & we could promote colorful beach & artistic designs in these "cans" to help them be NOTICED & USED BETTER. That's my request & suggestion. If I can help coordinate this - I am happy to do so. It truly upsets me; and I feel it demeans our beautiful city & I feel the painting project would just add more artistic beauty to our city like the mural projects. Thanks for your time!
