Description
I have photos from every time I've complained about this property. The sidewalk that runs along South 17th Street of the Smoker's Corner store is more of an ashtray/garbage dump on the side that abuts the road. Not counting the cigarette butts, I counted over 40 separate pieces of garbage. Vodka shooter bottles, Fireball shooter bottles, straws, caps, bags, cigarette packs, and more. According to previous repsonses from the city "this doesn't meet the threshold for litter". While I can't sue the city for failure to enforce their own municipal codes, there are ways for me to take legal actions for things like "malfeasance of duty" and "using color of law" in federal court. Or the city could just make Smoker's corner pick up their darn trash like they make other businesses and residents do.

Except there's more trash now. Just like it says on the website for the illustrious Health Department "litter attracts more litter". https://www.lincoln.ne.gov/City/Departments/Health-Department/Environmental/Waste-Management
