Both Wolf and Reeves say the litter problem is worst on the weekends in Harvard and Central Square because of the substantial increase of pedestrian and auto traffic. But Reeves maintains this is no excuse for a dirty city.
The problem of more trash on the weekends is a result of the clean-up schedule set by the Department of Public Works, Reeves says. Crews clean on Friday during the day and on Saturday morning, but not late in the afternoon or at night on Saturday. No city crews...
A dirty city is not only ugly, Reeves says, but it also hinders the marketing of certain business areas, like Central Square, that are trying to improve their images.
Reeves says Central Square is an area the city is trying to market as one of Cambridge's finest places to dine. But trash and refuse on the streets and sidewalks do not let Central Square businesses "put their best foot for ward," he says.
Reeves says that since he and Central Square business leaders began bringing attention to the litter problem at a recent city council meeting, the area's appearance has improved, at least temporarily.
