Maybe the city can enforce street cleaning on B street once a week?

While I agree that street sweeping would help, why not go right to the source and enclose the dumpsters? This would not not only curb the trash from blowing out of the bins, but it would also help to discourage people rummaging through them. I know that not everyone takes pride in where they live, but it doesn't mean that I should (or want to) pick up your trash.

Who cares about new sidewalks??? Why not do something that is somewhat necessary and make an immediate difference.

This can only get worse after the Parade on Sunday.

I hope the City starts street (and sidewalk) sweeping in the area sooner rather than later!

Another issue is unauthorized dumping into the unsecured dumpster. I've seen vehicles pull in, dump their trash and drive away.

Last night, someone walked out of the new deli at 4th and B Sts at closing time with a trash bag. They walked across the street and tossed their trash into this dumpster.

Nothing's changed. Does anyone with any authority to do anything actually look at these? Just wondering....

Not to mention the seagulls that infest the area because they can feed off the open trash.

Their droppings only further litter the neighborhood (and ultimately contaminate our drinking water http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011/01/28/state_urges_residents_not_to_feed_seagulls/).

We need to stop that Asian lady from dropping bread off EVERY morning. I see her do it from my window almost everyday. That is why the pigeons and gulls are everywhere making noise and leaving their mess all over the parking lot and cars.

I have lived on this street for 8 years and the trash is out of control. Yes, the biggest problem is the dumpsters at the housing development. When they are emptied all the loose trash and blown all over the street. Also, there aren't posted signs for street cleaning. The street sweepers come down the street twice a week but what good it is if they only swwep the middle of the street and not along the curb where all the trash is. I have tried for 7 years to get signs posted. The city doesn't care about this side of B Steet for some reason.
