Description
Recently while across the Q River visiting our only park with facilities for small children in Fair Haven, My husband spent the entire 45 minute play date picking up crack/drug baggies, condom wrappers, plastic bottles, candy wrappers, you name it. Fortunately one of the litter bugs left a plastic bag which my husband used to pick up the garbage. This is a very small park that gets a lot of use. Its completely ludicrous that folks would trash our sweet little park and not demonstrate basic courtesy to their children... but then again, drug baggies and condom wrappers do not indicate family fun at the splash pad.

Does anyone know exactly how often the city and/or NHPD gives fines for littering (as well as other enforcement tickets) in the park system? That would be a good place to start, especially if it could be shared with a rough breakdown by neighborhood and time of day.
It's easy to say enforcement is needed, but it's another thing to show whether anything is currently being done about this.

Alderwoman Stephanie Bauer contacted me and would like to meet with some folks from Front and Lewis St to get pole numbers and get this issue resolved. Contact Alderwoman Bauer at ward14@newhavenct.net.
Fab,perhaps you might be the best qualified to meet with the Alderwoman as you have first hand knowledge of the situation.
