Council Member Report Card
How your representatives are handling the alley trash pick-up crisis. Our neighborhoods deserve better than disruption disguised as progress.
The Issue
The proposed changes to alley trash service threaten to disrupt neighborhoods that were specifically designed for alley service. This isn't progress—it's a step backward that ignores the fundamental infrastructure and planning of our communities.
Progress Update: Some Council Members Are Listening!
We're seeing positive movement! Some council members are taking action to delay and reconsider these harmful changes. This shows that our voices are being heard.
🎯 Keep the Momentum Going:
We cannot stop now. Council members need to continue hearing from residents who depend on alley collection. Stay engaged, keep attending meetings, and keep contacting your representatives. Together, we can guide them to make the right decision for our neighborhoods.

"For the alleys...On the one hand we're moving forward, on the other hand we don't have the answers to what the residents will do there"

Admits lack of answers for residents
Moving forward without proper planning
Needs to demand answers before proceeding
⚠️ We need action, not confusion
