Dear Glenn and Deborah,
We would be happy to sign the letter to the City. We too have been increasingly concerned about the state of the City's Ft. Ward Park enclosure. We live directly behind the "nursery" area (4016 Ellicott) and in full view of what has now become the City's parking lot for maintenance trucks and equipment and park debris.
Last year I contacted the supervisor, Roger Blakely about the eyesore this area had become. At that point we were not aware of the trash dumping area because of a fence the City had constructed perpendicular to the city's chain link fence or we would have mentioned that as well. He came to my house to view the site from my kitchen window and agreed to plant a screen of plants along an area that the city had mistakenly cut down ivy we'd planted to obstruct the view. Unfortunately these plants are lower than the fence and really do not good at preventing the view.
In addition, a few years ago the city placed rat traps near the park fence at our request and after no activity or sightings for a year did not continue to maintain them. Recently I had an exterminator come out for some general pest maintenance (termite control) and I had him check the rat traps. He noted rodent activity and suggested we contact the park to relocate the dump. I think the City has to be made aware of this illegal and destructive site and you have our full support as homeowners in this community to hold them accountable.
Most Sincerely,
Elizabeth Sullivan and John Kling
