My family and I are so saddened to note the polluted state of our beautiful Sunset Park at the town dock.  Litter is everywhere; beer cans thrown about, empty coffee cups between the bushes, remnants of lunches left on the benches, dirty napkins littering the entire expanse of the promenade and parking lot.  I find myself constantly picking up someone else's trash because I cannot in good conscience just step over it. Although the threat of a $500 fine is visible via a large sign in the center of the parking lot, clearly this is not enforced.  Guess I'll be dialing 311 for the very first time (having never actually complained about anything since moving here in 1991!)  I do hope others are moved to speak out about this as well.
