News that the district, chartered in 1993 partly to maintain a cleaner and safer South Street, was trashing its trash cans did not land well. The group has since reassessed the plan.
Eleanor Ingersoll is the new executive director of the South Street Headhouse District. Her first decision was a bold one.
Big Belly trash compactors, collected by the city weekly would still be available, Ingersoll noted. The district would also seek grants for dog waste bins. But in the newsletter, Ingersoll provided no alternative for the dozens of trash cans she sought to remove.News that the district, chartered in 1993 partly to maintain a cleaner and safer South Street, was trashing its trash cans did not land well.
Still, community members like Wall, a lawyer, said residents were already bearing the burden of a rising tide of trash. He and his neighbors on Kater Street, a leafy, cobblestone alley one block off South, rely on the bins as a defense against the daily deluge of debris that flows from the corridor. After hearing the cans were being removed, Wall wrote Ingersoll and Carlton Williams, who’s heading the city’s new Office of Clean and Green initiatives, warning that the district could face potential lawsuits from impacted citizens.
Ingersoll, who lives two blocks off South Street with her family, was hired after the group’s longtime director stepped down last year. She’s the right person to move the district ahead, Milan said.
