I've lived in Weston all my life but have recently started taking the bus more often in an attempt to become greener. In the process I have a certain route I walk in the morning to get to my bus stop atJane and Lawrence. On the north-west corner of Jane & Lawrence is a plaza that is absolutely littered with garbage! I called the city on Monday to clean up the sidewalk, and where I can see they cleaned it up there is new garbage everywhere.
I understand this is a two part problem. (1) the people that walk this strip simply don't care and just throw their garbage on the ground. But (2), the plaza itself doesn't maintain anything. I'm pretty sure that most of the garbage left in unmarked black bags is from local businesses and their patrons throwing trash down.
Does anyone know if a process exists to have the city step in and do something? I'm not sure because technically isn't the plaza/parking lot private property, so they can maintain it as they see fit? But on the other hand it brings down the quality of the neighbourhood of Weston, of which this is the "east facing side". I've been skimming the Weston thread in the Neighbourhoods forum (interesting read) and I'm glad to see that there is some talk about the neighbourhood, so I'm not alone here!
Thanks for any input.
