Harvey sees the one time the trash is covered. Here are three other time I passed by the mentioned location. He’s also bothered by the squawks and cries of the gulls, but not the smell of the open garbage next to his part time residence?
City Manager Ben Harvey, clad in a baby blue sweater over a white button-up shirt, strolls down 16th Street with a cup of coffee in hand. It’s early afternoon, and while there are still no gulls around, Harvey stops between Fandango Restaurant and Grove Market, and turns to face a dumpster area.
“This is what I am talking about,” Harvey says, visibly annoyed, yet composed.
Harvey takes a few steps toward a nearly empty parking lot in front of the restaurant, and points to a big, black dumpster with its lid shut. The container stands next to a small trash can filled with a tied-up garbage bag.
In addition to using predatory birds to scare off gulls, part of the program would also include stepping up enforcement of dumpster lid closures.
