Description

Lots of trash in the diversion channel(mattresses, paper cups, fast food containers, cans, bottles, etc) that is being left by the homeless who have made a camp under I-40. I have contacted 242 cops about the homeless with no results on having them removed. But the trash and human waste is becoming a larger problem on the storm water that runs into the river. Also the amount of graffiti has increased along the diversion channel bike path. Looks really bad considering the international balloon festival is in town and will get a lot of visibility...Abq already gets enough bad press without looking bad to visitors.
