Mounds of Trash at Public Bus Stop
Who Is Ultimately Responsible For Clean Up?
December 20, 2012
I pass this bus stop several times a day, and for the past week its trash container has been overflowing with garbage. One person has documented this neglect on his blog, thedailycity.com. +Mark Baratelli has been and is a top proponent for keeping Orlando "the City Beautiful." Tonight he photographed and posted a notice about this deplorable situation:
Just who should take on the task that is being ignored by the public, the city solid waste department, and even each bus driver who isn't reporting the conditions at this particular bus stop?
Are you thinking that I should rush out tomorrow and do the job myself? Think again. I travel 9 miles one way to work each morning and pass 10 to 20 Lynx bus stops. This is the only one in this condition. Why?
We watched tonight, outside a Starbucks, as a waiting bus passenger carefully placed his empty soft drink cup on the top of the disgusting pile. The public is doing the right thing in trying to use the trash can. But now the entire bus stop seating area is surrounded by decaying food, which will attract flies, roaches, and other vermin. Would you want to sit next to this garbage dump?

Here is just one view of this disgraceful mess:
So, I'm asking, just like thedailycity.com did: Who is responsible for the clean up here and why hasn't the clean up been done?
