6 THE COURIER SUN • JUNE 5, 2014 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.couriersun.com GOLDFEDER DEMANDS CLEANUP OF “EYESORE” SQUARE BY SALVATORE LICATA Garbage bags, cigarette butts and an overfl owing trash can greet commuters and locals in Coleman Square every day, charged a politician who is demanding a cleanup of the area. Given the large volume of people passing through the square to jump on the A train, garbage pick-up and removal has become a major issue surrounding the two-block square, Assemblyman Philip Goldfeder said. “There are simply not enough trash cans or a reliable pick-up schedule to accommodate the volume of litter that is produced in this area,” Goldfeder said. “The Coleman Square Station constantly remains an eyesore for our community.” Goldfeder has sent a letter to the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY), requesting that there be additional trash cans added to the area along with more frequent garbage pick-ups in an effort to clean up the mess that has plagued the square. The square currently has just one DSNY trash can which is constantly overfl owing with garbage. It is common to see empty bottles and littered papers blowing right by the memorial war shrines that are set up in the square. “It is the obligation of the Sanitation Department to provide more cans and more frequent pick-ups to support the volume of traffi c at Coleman Square,” Goldfeder said. “Our families deserve to live in a community where they can comfortably enjoy the summer weather outdoors without being surrounded by unsightly garbage.” Goldfeder is waiting for a response from the DSNY, which did not immediately return a call for comment.
