The area in question along Old county is very overgrown with poison
ivy...just saying, volunteers should beware.

Subject: Re: [LincolnTalk] Town land along Old County Rd
Why don’t we harness the power of the Internet and establish an annual
clean up event- comprised of those who have been viewing and commenting
on this topic. I am certain others will volunteer should we get the
word out.
Can’t put it on the backs of students, they’re too busy with school and
iPads-If we want this done, we’ve got to do it ourselves.

As I said before, contact the Selects and ask to have a discussion.
Otherwise, you can start a citizen’s petition to request a position
be funded in the DPW budget.
There is a way to see if others also agree that our tax dollars
should pay for this, otherwise, we can go out with trash bags and
each do a little bit in our neighborhoods.

The town should acknowledge that street sweeping is different than

a dumping ground for all sorts of trash. A clean up

I live on Old County Rd not far far from Carol. Clearly there are
streets in Lincoln that are more affected than others by littering.
Old County is one of them as we are close to a reservoir and
major business center and the road provides a major thoroughfare
with low lighting/visibility for cars.
Other roads in Lincoln are similarly affected for these or
different reasons and the town is probably aware of them. These
roads deserve more effort by the town with more frequent street
cleaning. Perhaps this is already happening but does not seem
enough.

As someone a stated before. We can’t have town employees cleaning
roads every time trash is dumped. They have other things to do and
only clean during certain times of the year.
Curious if it is on the reservoir side is that not owned or run by
Cambridge or do they just lease the land/water area?

Regardless of who is dumping this trash the fact remains it is on
town owned land and should be cleaned up by a town crew.

Unfortunately more people using trails hence more trash.
Place many signs. Trails will b closed if become dangerous and
trashy. So upsetting folks don't have manners.

When I lived in Watertown, we had a terrible problem with
people dropping trash all along the paths alongside the
Charles River. Each year, on Earth Day, one of the local
citizen's groups organized trash cleanup parties all along the
river. It was a shame we had to do that, but together, we all
made a difference.
When I moved to Lincoln, I was so pleased that I could walk
our beautiful trails without constantly running across trash.
I'm sorry to hear that the plague has spread to our town as
well. Perhaps we need a similar sort of cleanup day. Although
I would much rather spend my time doing something useful, like
pulling up garlic mustard or planting native pollinators,
rather than having to waste time picking up after thoughtless
people.
