Still Clean-up Time

It's been a year since this Clean-up Time post and I was hoping things would improve, but that is still just a hope.  With Philz apparently doing a good business and Starbucks on the Ave. as popular as ever (i.e. same problem two blocks away), one wonders what it would take to get more frequent pick-ups and more off-street space.  The commenter on the old post was correct, that alley way is tight for walking when the bins are in there.  And yet, this photo from a regular Voice reader shows what ain't working either.  Summer is coming and it won't smell any better.

Had a cup of Philz's coffee.
Was hard wired the whole day! Wow their coffee is strong IMHO.
Will stick with my Starbucks.
We are fortunate to have many coffee choices downtown.

I'd suggest that the trash cans be moved into the breezeway, but then Fat Lance couldn't squeeze into the Tobaconnist's smoky-back-room.

All I can say is having these carts all out on a daily basis is tacky tacky. These should not be a permanent fixture out on the sidewalks!

isn't there a city ordinance or something that you're not supposed to leave the trash bins out prior to evening before, and must be promptly stored away after they have been picked up?

i would think that maybe having people go into the stores and complain to management and maybe boycott buying their stuff until they clean up their act...but this is a city government issue, they should do something about this.

This is far toooooooo mundane for our esteemed city leaders to deal with on our behalf.
