Description
Someone dumped a lot of household trash at the Eagle St entrance to Blake Field. Seems to have come from 459 Blatchley. The person there said he had hired someone to take away the trash. Didn't realize the guy would dump it in the park.

"Since the City acknowledged this complaint, it looks like they're going to count it in their statistics as a success."
"Does SCF consider successful closure of an incident when it's simply "acknowledged" by a particular city department, or is the metric of success an actual resolution of the issue?"
Good morning, to answer the following question, no SCF does not add an acknowledge as a closure. An acknowledge means we are aware of the situation and a closure means the issue was resolved.
There are measures and procedures that the public does not see and though this issue may have taken a month+ to complete it is not as simple as just going to pick it up. As a community or resident it may have been indeed easier to "go out there with gloves and trash bag and get this done myself" but this was a joint effort by the Department of Public Works and the Department of Parks & Recreation and it was done in a timely manner. If everything was that simple there would be no need for SCF, property lines, ownership or departments. SCF is a great forum to keep us all up-to-date on the happenings of the city and I know my department does appreciate the community for their input but the truth of the matter is things take time and unfortunately the time frame may not be agreeable to all. If anyone would be interested in helping out in the parks or doing a clean up or anything associated with the parks department in particular I would be happy assist you 203-946-8004, thank you.
