Dumpsters on Your Sidewalk?
Mary Jo Markle
After years of receiving complaints from citizens about dumpsters on city sidewalks, Michael Mills, the City's Ombudsman, approached Sam and Commissioner Dan Saltzman about forming a task force to evaluate the issue.
On September 29, 2005, Council passed a resolution establishing the task force of public and private interests. The task force will look at potential solutions for removing dumpsters from the public right-of-way within two years of its report to Council.
