People see a little stretch of land without anyone watching, they open the hatch and drop a load on the street. I saw some guys once at that spot, literally, drive up in a van, roll open the sliding door, and dump an entire seat bench from the van in the tree pit. As they started off I stopped them and asked what they were doing -- they said they thought someone could use it! I decided that Discretion was the better part of Valor and decided to let them go without making a Citizen's Arrest.<br /><br />It sat there for a couple weeks of course, before Sanitation picked up on a call to Pearl Miles. She really is the one to call in situations like that. <br /><br />718-778-9279. Tell her Tim sent you. That will either work to your advantage or elicit a hearty chuckle.Clarkson FlatBedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463744536115119388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-65429457474242301482013-07-24T10:51:16.236-04:002013-07-24T10:51:16.236-04:00I have been thinking about the disgusting mess on ...I have been thinking about the disgusting mess on Flatbush from Empire to Lefferts, right outside the train station. Tim, would you recommend a 311 bomb for this area, or some brave soul call Pearl Miles at the community board? I wonder how much of this mess is generated by the MTA associates?The Snobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651104992931398542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-42119703081707346672013-07-24T08:21:08.584-04:002013-07-24T08:21:08.584-04:00One way to address the trash issue is to get the t...One way to address the trash issue is to get the trash bins back.MadMommaCarmennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-57041690480684077052013-07-23T13:08:58.420-04:002013-07-23T13:08:58.420-04:00Can we start a 311 chain for trash in the area?

I'd also like to do plants around the trees on my street (Bedford), but maybe it'd be helpful to start an association, or get more people on board in terms of beautifying the area.

If neighbors raise issues either here or at the Lefferts board on Yahoo, followed up by 15-20 complaint calls, we might just get some service around here.The Snobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651104992931398542noreply@blogger.com
