Jerry Celgelske, I really appreciate your frustration with garbage
in Ketchikan! It is hard for me to understand why people who
live in one of the most beautiful places in the United States
would want to dirty it up with garbage! A problem area that I
have noticed lately is the amount of trash along the street directly
behind the High School - perhaps Kay-hi should have a spring
clean day. I have also recently noticed a number of boxes stacked
on the narrow sidewalk in front of a business across from the
South East Stevedore area. Seems as though the city codes would
prohibit empty freight boxes from being stacked for lengthy periods
of time on the public sidewalk. If this business continues to
practice piling its empty freight boxes on the sidewalk through
the summer months they may end up with a lawsuit from some tourist
who is busy looking at eagles and trips over the boxes resulting
in injury...
I wonder if signage in the
popular north end or south end dump areas indicating that garbage
can be taken to the dump for free would help prevent dumping?
