Description
Trash disappears and beauty thrives when East Rock Park is pedestrian only.
To save, preserve and honor the sacrifice it represents, the beauty it holds, and the mighty lessons it offers, we propose making the historic and magnificent East Rock Park off limits to non-City of New Haven / City of Hamden vehicles.
For older, infirm, weak, and disabled visitors we request regular shuttle buses ferrying between the lower parking lot and the summit.
When cars are allowed, the park, the land, these two cities, and the honor and sacrifice the Soldiers and Sailors monument represents are befouled with trash and filth left by the thoughtless lazy.
Please vote Fix to support this idea then call your alders, mayors and legislators to voice your support of untarnished history and beauty, as well as your rejection of the trash pile some would have East Rock and much of our two cities become.

Perhaps town money would be better spent on more trash cans than on some kind of shuttle service that would most likely be infrequent and inadequate.
What happens when you ban all non New Haven/Hamden residents (and think of the cost of setting up folks to regulate THAT), and you realize that *gasp* those were the ones doing the littering all along.
Maybe you should just put up signs declaring East Rock to be a Snack-Free Zone.
