[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whose job is it to maintain roadside litter and trash? Was always perfectly clean 10 years ago. Now thanks to explosive growth of retail, plus two large new apartment complexes, it's to the point I'm just disgusted on my commutes to and from work and picking up the kids from school. If I ever see litter in our immediate neighborhood we pick it up religiously but I'm not picking up litter in thoroughfares ruined by all this traffic. Shouldn't all the new retail's tax revenue help with that? I really have no idea. But obviously there are downsides and costs of this growth.[/quote]

I am guessing it would be your taxes paying for this.  Try to reach out to local transit authority and find out who is not doing their job if it had been done before.  Sometimes they outsource to private contracting companies, and they may be collecting your tax dollars and doing nothing.

This happened here in Fairfax county with the snow plows this year.  Entire residential areas were neglected, contractors only plowed major streets, school buses had to change routes after several days of school closures. A few phone calls to the VDOT from angry residents in various neighborhoods resolved the problem and plows returned for the next snowfall. [/quote]

Sometimes it can be a jurisdiction of Parks and Recreations local departments or nature preservation or whatever, for example trash in public Parks, playgrounds, etc.  I don't know how your area works, but if it's the roads or transit then it's transit authority.  [/quote]
