Although the particular items cited in original SeeClickFix are gone, I am still cleaning up empty liquor bottles, trash, Swisher wrappers, flattened cardboard (like homeless people use to sleep on??), etc on a daily basis around this bus stop bench. It's a chronic Nuisance site. Just take the darn bench out --- there's a lot of AC Transit stops that do not have benches. All the vagrants in the neighborhood enjoy this bench: they walk to the liquor store at Market/58th (?), carry their liquor and Swisher wrappers to this bus stop, sit there and drink, smoke, deal drugs, then Repeat. Can the liquor store be held accountable for contributing to the Nuisance factor in its locale?

Bench removed, and thus all the riffraff, littering, public defecation, and drug dealing gone, too. Thanks.

Thanks for the info and being persistent on this issue Civis.
