lots of junk once again at this location

A year ago I pointed out that there were NO litercans on Royal avenue at all. I was informed "The City will install some litter cans along Royal Avenue in key locations.2016-03-14"
There are now a total of 2 littercans on the 2 kilometer length of Royal Avenue. There need to be more.

There have been two trees missing from this stretch of Columbia for the last two years. Evidently removed and not replaced

Tree was apparently cut down and not replaced

Both sections of this street off 3rd avenue and off 14th street have tires furniture etc dumped on it. Big messes

When last I reported the ongoing issues with businesses on this street essentially using it as a parking lot / dump for unlicensed 'cars' I was told "we will be working with multiple city departments in an effort to resolve these issues." Given that there we over 20 such cars on the street today including the one pictured below that has not moved since, I'm unsure of how one could call this progress. I realize that things take time but the first time i reported this was 2014-09-18 and I have drawn the city's attention to it several times since.

I have repeatedly reported that the businesses here routinely pile garbage at the sides of the street and all but block it with uninsured cars. They park them along the sides and in the middle of the street. They treat it as if it's their own parking lot. I realize that this is an industrial area but the way they operate is ridiculous. Even some folks from the city are afraid to patrol it due to the way the businesses behave. The question THE CITY EMPLOYEES asked is relevant "Why hasn't the city pulled their licenses? This never stops." You don't see this kind of thing on the other side of Stewardson so why is it ok hear for years on end? What's the point of this system if nothing systemic is done? EVERY day and night there are cars parked illegally here and MOST days there is industrial waste. Get serious or stop the charade and declare it a parking lot / dump.

all 3 of these bins are full and packed

When my dog falls down it tells you something. No effort here at clearing

Once again this business has made no effort to clear the sidewalk at all.

This business hasn't lifted a finger to clear their walk which is now a sheet of ice

Tree that has grown halfway across the sidewalk

lots of potholes need filling on this street

I find it amazing that one can walk the entire 2km length of Royal now without encountering a single place to put litter. The use to be one just downhill about 4 steps from royal on 6th street but it has been remove. Now the nearest one is uphill from Royal on 6th at the bus stop nearest city hall. I would suggest that there be at least 4 or 5 put in place so people at least have a chance to do the right thing.

Couch dumped on Aucland side of property

Still people making dangerous and illegal left turns across the double solid line. Especially dangerous when they come straight off of the McBride ramp and cut across Royal immediately. No action from the city after many months.
