The Bay Ridge BID Needs New Leadership
Tonight there was a Community Board 10 Environmental Committee meeting. The Bay Ridge BID’s representative spoke as if the new containers on 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge were working.
Fifth Avenue is a mess because the corner garbage cans were removed. Citibins were placed in the middle of the block. These rectangular containers look like they are owned by the business they are outside of, rather than for pedestrian use.
People are continuing to place garbage on the corners where the cans were located. People who used the corner bins for their household garbage are just leaving their bags on the corner as well.
The bins don’t look like they can hold much as their are bags outside of the bins. Why didn’t they try this out on one block before pushing it out on the avenue? What a wreck:
This is going to hurt the great bars and businesses on 5th Avenue – they need new leadership to get control of this problem!
Someone either needs to return the corner garbage cans or place signs on the corner to alert people to use the Citibins. Kayla Santosuosso, the NYC Council representative for the area has been alerted, but she hasn’t taken action.
When making changes like this, why was the 68th Precinct alerted so that people who are dumping on 5th Avenue can be fined? The auxiliary police officers could do that and then word would spread that people were being ticketed.
Thank you to the Ridgite and her dogs who took the photos because they love Bay Ridge!
