30th improvements/University area - Luis looking to get an update
Additional Community Questions pending response:
llegal dumping continues to plague 50th and Temple Heights area. Why can’t there be more of a focus to improve the area to possibly impede dumpers from dumping?
Littering has become a higher than usual issue along Takomah Trail. The entire road can be found with litter from Busch to the park. TPNA has submitted emails requesting for trash cans and dog stations to help curb this issue. What can we do to fight back on the littering aside from TPNAs efforts?
Code enforcement has been somewhat less existent in the area. Can we have info on what’s going on and what we can do to help improve the areas look?
If you have any questions please contact Luis Office or TPNA.
