Long Wharf is absolutely disgusting. I would be embarrassed to advertise it as a ‘paradise’. The loud music, speeding, illegal parking and the trash are ruining a beautiful part of our city. These are pictures I took this morning. The trash cans were empty but there was still trash all over (especially styrofoam containers). And the dumpsters near the food trucks...overflowing. I could imagine the rats that must run around there.
Sadly, there is also trash floating in the harbor (the same styrofoam containers, drink bottles, etc.) and I saw a dead bird commorant floating in the water yesterday. Today a bird was trying to eat a straw.
Something needs to be done!!

Thanks for your comments. We service the trash receptacles daily at Long Wharf which is the same frequency that we do on the Green. We have staff assigned to poke trash in the area daily as well. We also have a number of smart trash cans that alert us when they are filled and overfull cans is not what is driving the problem. That said, we do try to get the trash truck down a second time on weekend afternoons but often the truck can not make it down into the area and make the turns due to the level of congestion so its just are smaller trucks which tend to poking. The overtime for poking on weekends is paid for by the registration from the food truck vendors.
We are exploring different schedules, new infrastructure and other creative solutions but much of what is driving these problems are the behaviors of patrons who do not clean up after themselves. I will leave the request as acknowledged instead of closed to indicate that we know we haven't yet solved the systematic problem.
