Description
Saturday morning after 9:30 AM on Oct. 18th walking on Fayetteville Street it was sad to encounter over ten spots--between Davie Street and Morgan Street that featured one or more of the following: vomit, broken beer bottles, and empty unbroken beer bottles.
The Street Cleaners in the red shirts were doing a fine job getting it all tidied up for another day in Raleigh--these folks are to be commended for cleaning up the disgusting leavings generated by nightlife that needs to be more carefully regulated by the Raleigh City Council, the Downtown Raleigh Alliance, and the Raleigh Police.
The problem is not the people cleaning the streets. The problem are city leaders who put up with allowing Fayetteville Street to become such a cesspool of side effects.
The mess being cleaned up are the side effects of too many clubs in too small an area over-serving people to the point where vomit and broken bottles are rather common in the morning...as is the crazy amount of noise late at night which many of us do not even bother reporting any longer due to ineffective responses.
Cleaning up the mess is appreciated
--we salute you red shirted street cleaners.
We don't appreciate public officials who let the root causes which produce this mess continue.
Raleigh--let's grow up and get our laws enforced. Let's not wake up in a few years with an unattractive downtown just because city leaders allowed way to many bars and clubs and then refused to enforce the law.
