Description

As is clear from the photograph, the trash and litter stop at the closed gate. If East Rock became a hiking and biking only park (except for regular dates and times when cars are allowed and ample anti-littering police officers both from Hamden and from New Haven are present), we could keep it clean and trash free. And by trash free I'm not just talking about the littler, but the people who drive up and dump the trash making them post facto trashy. It is my believe, though probably not a proven fact, that the bottles, cans, fast food waste, cigarette packages and all the other unwanted mess usually accompanies the general public that arrives in automobiles.
