Be forewarned - I don't think that area is fully open yet. The gat at the Waverly end of Talbot gets secured after hours...

There used to be a receptacle for dog owners to deposit poop bags at Ft. Washington Park. Possible it's been overturned?

(Or improperly emptied - I hate to say it but Works often gets sloppy on garbage pick up days and lets stuff slop onto the sidewalk or the street when they're emptying trash receptacles.)

The receptacles are still there. Talbot street has only been accessible recently, but those bags have been behind construction fencing for MONTHS.

There are always 2 trash cans at Fort Washington. This is absolutely not a public works problem. The park is generally clean with "mostly" responsible dog owners. Obviously someone has issues.

This issue was recategorized from Other to Street Cleaning (Internal).

City Hall – DR assigned this issue to Public Works - PK (Solid Waste)

Might be vandalism.

And I've commented on a related point in the past: at the Tudor St dog park, dog owners consistently "fling" poop bags *at* but not into the trash receptacle, so they end up falling outside of it and lie on the ground. If that was happening here, again it would be easy for the bags to get scattered.

It would nice if the vandalized Trash Can circa 2015 be replaced. There now MISSING? small canons at the Talbot entrance and the other entrances. Can MIT put some surveillance cameras in their Parallel Parking Lots, MIT Police Headquarters is very close and they could hold and arrest vandals in their parking lots. “Let no unpatriotic hand destroy this revolutionary relic, now known as Fort Washington.” - “History of Cambridge, Massachusetts 1630-1877,” Lucius R.
