I am concerned about the growing problem of chewing gum being discarded on our newly reinstalled sidewalks on Greenwich Ave. While spitting on the sidewalks is prohibited for health reasons, dropping gum is just as unsanitary and indeed more damaging.
Once stuck on the sidewalk, gum leaves lasting stains that are expensive to remove and diminish the appearance of our town. It is both a public health concern and a sign of disrespect towards the community’s investment in improving our appearance with fresh clean new sidewalks.
Greenwich takes pride in our cleanliness and beauty. But just look at the ugliness being added by those dropping gum carelessly all the way up and down Greenwich Ave. Let us please treat our sidewalks ( Greenwich ) with care and ensure our sidewalks remain clean and healthy spaces we all can be proud of.
Sincerely,
Peter J Dapuzzo
