Descrição

The area of Winchester Street between Sachem and Webster street, including those streets themselves, is always covered with trash. I walk my dog and pick up the litter but it keeps multiplying faster than I can pick it up. There's street cleaning and one or two waste receptacles, but it's not enough. There needs to be several more waste cans installed all around this area, including along the Farmington Canal trail and near the Scantlebury playground, and more importantly, there needs to be signs--a new snazzy postering campaign would be great--that tells people that they can't throw their trash on the ground. The neighborhood is mixed New Havenites and Yale people and there's a lot of foot traffic, and the trash contributes to a feeling of unsafety. I think there's some drug running near or around the park as well, which probably adds to the problem.
