DPW has small trucks that fit in the alley. One came through when the did a full alley clean up last year. They choose not to use them here for trash pickup.<div><br></div><div>As for alley fence “scrapes” by DPW trucks, the original (?) owners of 1210 Independence took off a corner their garage after repeated damage. The subsequent owner installed a steel corner post to protect the building. Previous owners of 160 12th got tired of having their fence damaged and installed a 6x6 wooden beam protective sub wall to protect the main fence. It’s a chronic problem when large trucks driven by those unaware of its limited size try to exit the alley. I know because I often guide them out. </div><div><br></div><div>Finally, my major whine to add to the discussion about trash pickup is the inconsiderate depositing of trash in the alley by Air B&Bs; namely 1218 Independence. Last week I witnessed a young manager(?) pull into the alley in his Porsche and then take numerous large bags of unsorted trash from 1218 and filled four green cans in the alley. When I confronted him to confirm that the trash was from 1218, I told him that the the city does not pick up and that we are responsible for our trash deposit. </div><div><br></div><div>He promised me that he’d be back Sunday to bring it to the pickup point. Yes, he was a no show and I brought the cans out early Monday AM with petty thoughts of putting it on the front yard of 1218. When it’s not the current manager, their cleaning crew do the same, as they’re no doubt instructed. Similarly another Air B&B at 130 12th St maintains bags of trash in its alley carport with no effort to dispose of them. Compared to the chronic behavior of these property managers I welcome the occasional ignorance of our residents.</div><div><br></div><div>Enough of my whine. Now for my wine!</div><div><br></div><div><br><br><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/?.src=iOS">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad</a><br><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Wednesday, May 15, 2019, 4:29 PM, citymom92@gmail.com wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="yiv3830351538"><div><div dir="ltr"></div><div dir="ltr"> I remember none of this being a problem when we all had trash pickup in the alley (yes it used to be so) but then the trucks got bigger, some neighbors didn’t like them scraping their fences, and so made it impossible for trucks to ever go back there by constructing a concrete block wall to protect their fence.
