Description
Last summer neighbors requested additional trash receptacles for weekends to help curb litter from intense use during those periods. It's unsafe, unhygienic, and unfair for all the parks patrons to put people in a position where they aren't able to dispose of refuse properly. Setting patrons up to fail is not the answer. Please deploy additional trash bins on weekend in the picnic areas of the park this season, it's the right thing to do.

We need a commitment to action by the city to address this issue. We DO enjoy the park, we'd just enjoy it more if the issue raised here was taken seriously.
When can we expect to see the additional trash receptacles appearing on the weekends?

I'll be happy to add additional photos to document the impact either way.

So you're planning on having crews work holidays and extra on weekends?
***Can we get a commitment to that in writing here? ***
It's up to the city, but I can't see how that makes *any* financial sense to pay parks crew overtime & holiday pay instead of temporarily placing additional trash bins during high traffic times int the parks. Reopened until we get a commitment to weekend and holiday work from the city in lieu of additional bins.
