Don’t Trash Our Thoroughfares!
Recently, I drove the entire distance of our two major north and south arteries, Florida and Nebraska Ave. I was saddening to see the abundance of litter and debris that cover the right-of-ways of both. However, the one thing that appeared to be a glaring issue is the lack of trash receptacles. Along the corridors, especially the Nebraska Ave stretch, it appears that the majority of public transit shelters, benches and bus stops failed to place the trash receptacles. Therefore, passengers sit on the bench with their colas, snacks and meals. Whey they are finished, the litter is simply tossed on the ground. I have written both FDOT and Hartline. However, neither have responded. Therefore, I am asking for your assistance. Maybe if they receive 100’s of letter, action may be taken. Please take the time to send a quick note to both FDOT and Hartline to request that proper trash receptacles be installed as soon as possible.

Tomorrow evening is the beginning of the Jewish New Year and therefore I will not be able to attend. Some of our elected officials may not be able to attend as well.
I live next to one of the bus stops. They constantly throw their garbage. It kills me how they have the energy to go get the stuff walk all the way to the store, get to the bus stop, but not have the energy to carry the trash until they get to a trash can.
Did any of the city leaders show up at the event. I am stuck at work until 9:30. What happened at the meeting? Was it any good.
I have a collection of your blog I hope you update regularly .
