Our Littering Street Sign & Garbage in Our Community...

As you may have seen in the front entrance on Steeplechase Lane, someone [or more than one person] scratched the letters and numbers off of our new "Do Not Litter" sign. 

We've contacted the Director of General Services & Facility Management Department; he is removing the sign, and ordering our community a new one. The new sign will be placed in another area of the neighborhood; not at a bus stop. 

One of our dedicated neighbors went to the bus stop one morning to ask the children if they saw who defaced the sign. The children did not share any specific names, but they alluded to knowing who damaged the sign. 

This cannot happen again. Our community will NOT be terrorized by vandals and those adults or children that think it's amusing. 

Some suggestions to help find a resolution to this problem are to have a meeting with Chief Patterson. Also, Lieutenant Rabel shared with us some "Stop Littering - Tips for Kids" brochures to share with the children . We're brainstorming on the best way to distribute these brochures so they too don't become litter!

If you have any suggestions to combat this issue of vandalism and littering, please share your thoughts in the comments section below!

Thank you, Steeplechase Neighbors!

Litter Signs Are Coming!

As Cynthia mentioned in the last Steeplechase newsletter, the litter signs are on their way!

Bennie Rose, the Director of General Services and Facility Management Department said the three signs that were order 2 weeks ago are on their way and will be installed as soon as they arrive!

Prayers up and fingers crossed this makes a significant difference!

Thanks, Cynthia and Steeplechase Community!

We Need "Litter Signs" Like These...

I'll investigate if the city can provide a sign or what the cost would be for us to purchase one [or two].

Found Glasses :: Neighborbood Entrance Clean-Up [08.04.12]

Strangely, there's something fulfilling about picking up trash & cleaning your neighborhood. Somebody's got to do it. #ProtectYourInvestment

That's a tweet /Facebook post I sent this morning after picking up garbage from the main entrance to our neighborhood.

We must come up with something to deter people from littering. I suggest we get a "No Littering/Fine" sign from the City of Riverdale, and post it at the entrance. It doesn't seem to get better as is. 

We also need to set reminders for the Neighborhood Clean-Up, every last Saturday of each month. This month's date is: August 25.

Also, below are some prescription eyeglass I found while cleaning up. If you know who they below to, please email warriormamma@gmail.com
