Resident Wants Path Cleaned Up: Letter to the Editor (Photos)

"We work hard to keep our yard looking nice and directly next to us looks like a dump!"

I live on Northview Drive in Stow, directly next to the /Stow walk path. The city has done NOTHING to keep this path cleaned up.  

It is a complete mess! We work hard to keep our yard looking nice and directly next to us looks like a dump!  

I am curious if anyone else around Stow has the same problems that live near paths. We find beer bottles, trash, and even a baggie with left over marijuana!

It is now mid-May and they have not cleaned up anything there are dead trees, etc.

When I have complained in the past for maybe three summers now, they put a bench facing my house that I have asked and have been told several times now that it would be moved so people cannot sit there and watch us here.

I have also seen kids sitting there smoking and grown adults making out! Totally uncalled for! The benches need to go!  

I have young children that do not need to see this nor do I need to be worried about who is sitting there watching my kids play!
