Thanks so much for submitting this post! Let’s see how long it takes to resolve this issue. Please stay SAFE out there!!!
Folks just target specific areas of the city and simply dump stuff off on the street. The cumulative effects are significant and people often become desensitized to the overall blight. We have been using the term, “normalized blight” to describe…
Several rolls of discarded carpeting and additional trash were added to the site since our last drive-by. Since we are still calibrating and tweaking the workflow on this site, it has been rather interesting to see how a neglected, fly-dumped…
A toilet base (wrapped in plastic) was recently added to the pile above. This particular section of South Perry is starting to become rather popular with fly dumpers. The other interesting issue to note is the “latency factor” relative to…
A spare tire on the ground. Fly dumping is a pervasive issue in certain sections of our great city. We can definitely dial this out if a committed group of individuals manages to band together. We are optimistic, since there…
This black offers constant resistance. We are using a new plugin to help us better calibrate to see how long issues can go without being addressed. Latency is the operative term here, for it does appear that serious issues can…
This is a classic example of a block with recurring issues. The vacant, City-owned lot does little to help the cause. It wouldn’t be significant if the block didn’t have housing, which it does on the other end. This can…
Some issues go unresolved for extended periods of time. When one takes a block-by-block approach, it is easy to notice that this particular section of Wabash has significant latency issues. We recently modified the site’s code to more effectively track…
A robust pile of fly-dumped wood (w/nails) and additional construction-related debris. This has been in place for some time, now, but the photo was just now posted… This can be totally rectified with communal support.
This definitely jumped out at us. Fly dumping tends to occur in areas where the is an abundance of embedded filth (trash). Tracking latency is one way to help target problematic areas. Our posts now indicate the amount of time…
Fly-dumped debris on a lot just off of King Drive.
