Thank you as always for posting information that County Administration can't/won't, Commissioner Bergosh.
One big problem is that Administration seems to be putting out the word that the first pass has been accomplished. Not by a long shot on the West Side, it hasn't. Navy Point has big swaths of main drag streets that haven't even had a first pass on vegetative debris. But Pat Johnson is telling neighbors we have, probably because he is being told it has been accomplished.
This is not the fault of County staff, but the continued chaos of administrative mismanagement. We have spoken with many contractors who have been out on various things and they themselves agree it's chaos. Sure some of them are probably gaming the system, with haphazard oversight. The ones we have spoken with have expressed that it's a free for all. That's on Janice Gilley.
Worst still is the citizen-blaming...people are too impatient, lazy, they aren't separating debris properly. On our street which had massive piles of vegetative debris there was very little non-vegetative debris to even sort out. The piles were breeding mosquitos and smelled like sewer due to the ECUA overflows. We cleared our properties and across the street with many, many loads over to Lexington Terrace. There has not been a single pickup of a single pile on our street other than that. We were going to start clearing other people's piles when a truck showed up on an adjacent street, so we had hope it would continue around the corner. Nope. And we are on the main drag around the peninsula. I suppose we need to get it through our heads that we simply aren't going to get a vegetative pickup and start clearing our neighbors' piles as well, as they don't have the equipment and/or aren't physically capable.
