Litter Campaign

Laura was talking to Officer Matt Montesano last night about the litter problem along the Ave. Matt acknowledged the problem but it sounds like enforcement comes down to a cost-benefit. Picking up someone for littering can turn into a 3 hour ordeal and officers just can’t justify the time lost for such a minor infraction. What we need is a concerted effort by the Police Department along with a media commitment to cover the planned action. Just like the random DWI checks, we need to let the neighborhood know that a stop litter campaign will be taking place and officers will be ticketing. I’m not sure how to get something like this rolling, but maybe Officer Montesano or Council member Cathy Fahey could offer some ideas.

This should be my last post of the day!
