Description
A long stretch of River St. is covered in oil, roofing material, and metal scrap. These materials are all coming from the old Bigelow Building. I have seen Department of Public Works trucks coming out of the site. This situation has been this way for weeks. This riverfront property is a mess. Oily sludge is running from the site into storm drains.
I'll post photos ASAP, but the Independent or Register should shine a huge spotlight on this blight.

Ben,
I saw city crews doing demolition work, and I believe they were with DPW.
The city envisions a redevelopment of this area, which I'm in support of. If their contractors aren't meeting basic standards for safety and environmental protection, then the city needs to take action.
The roofing material, broken glass, and oil slick only add to the feel that this area is a blighted urban wasteland.

Guy Look Closer, its tire marks. You ever seen a skid steer work, it leaves skid marks and dirt marks. Way to blow it out of proportion.
Go Ahead call DEP.
