Personally I clean my side of the street where I live , and across , people have to all chip in a bit , but cleaning crews , like community service would be awesome to have around , I see a couple every now and then but not enough . Here in fair haven streets are simply littered , downtown would have to do something about it ... Or better yet our alderman from ward 14 , but he does nothing about situations like this . And street sweeping does not happen twice per month as it should no more , been years like that ..
What can we do ??

Looks like much of New Haven. Drive down Grand, Chapel, anywhere on the Green. Filth and garbage. Only about a doze people in New Haven seem to give a damn about it, about the atmosphere it creates, about its effect on children, crime, quality of life.

I dont know how people can live like this.....and then to show their children to live the same way....would it help by putting more garbage pails on each corner...no because they are to lazy to just take a few steps that it takes to get there..... :(

Why don't Grand Avenue business owners chip in to form a merchant service's district like Upper State Street did years ago. They can promote their businesses and keep it clean all at the same time!

I guess they just don't SERVICE Grand Avenue like they do downtown, chapel west, whalley, etc.

Sad. ;(

I truly wish the businesses, home owners, landlords, even schools would be fined by some agency @ this disgusting issue!!! Oh wait, there is LCI !!!!

Grand Avenue has GAVA that at the beginning was doing great, but not sure what happened to them, they have an office on Blatchey Street around the corner from Grand Avenue and I'm sure they drive by these dirty streets every day. But a lot of times I had think about how hard is to clean the piece of sidewalk on front of your business, like we as homeowner clean our front yards and sidewalk.. well some of us. The alderman are too busy focusing on traffic calming instead of focusing in the dirty streets and prostitution on plain day light. Which would benefit Fair haven more than traffic calming, I live in fair haven and prostitution on Ferry street, Chapel street and Lombard are more important issues than "street calming" which I don't think is a problem anymore.

COMPLETELY agree!! The cleaner an area is the less likely it is to be infested by human vermin!!! These r our streets. They dont belong to the human trash around us!! It is high time the city and all of these non profits actually got out and did some of what they SAY they r doing!!!!

Honestly i feel they should get the people that are on probation and need to do community service...or MAYBE even the people that get public assistance should do a little community work. ....are city would be awesome!!!!!!!
