Maybe the UCD can intervene.

Subject: Re: [UC] Question about
block cleanups
Hi all
Just adding my two cents here. What has been written is very good, trying
to get more of the renters and neighbors in general involved with keeping the
blocks clean. It is to everyone's benefit, after all.
The problem on our block, aside from the fact that there are only 2 homeowners
and the rest are renters, is that there are alot of businesses on the
block. None of them have their own trash cans for one thing.
There's no bike racks anywhere, so people chain their bikes to the trees, our
front fence, whereever. Also, because we have a small convenience store,
thrift stores, a bar and karate school, people hang out and just drop their
trash on the sidewalk even though there's 2 city trash cans on either
corner. They don't live on this block so they don't care. Seems we
(me and my roommate who owns her house) spend alot of time picking up after
everyone else because we just can't stand seeing bags, wrappers, beer bottles,
etc. everywhere. Any advice on this kind of situation? Thanks!
Wendy
