CLEAN CITY ISLAND STREETS

Submitted by ub on

Operation Cleaner Streets should be immediately launched right here on City Island.

City Island Images has personally witnessed people who throw trash on the ground,or allow their pets to defaecate on our streets without picking up after them. When challenged, they ignored us, or denied it ever occurred.

Locals, community leaders and clergymen should donate time to sweep the pavement picking up trash around City Island avenue's heavily trafficked areas.

It is time for the civic association to organize such a necessary program one day of every month.
