6. Discussion of management of garbage and picnic tables at the Commons.
Letter to Commons and response discussed. Points of discussion: Garbage cans are frequently full, even with extra monitoring. opinions range from adding more cans and dumpsters on main street to decreasing cans to only business that provide majority of garbage- food to go. Since food to go is creating more trash then businesses should take responsibility for dealing with the trash.
More discussion regarding picnic tables in town and at the Commons. Group suggests replacing the picnic tables with benches. Letter has been sent to Commons requesting this. The Commons has agreed to remove 2 tables after Sept 16. What can PRVA do to help - suggest writing letter/talking to business regarding this major impact on downtown. The PRVA suggest Downtown businesses to take responsibility for the growing problem of trash created by food to go and picnicking in the downtown area.
7. Wells Fargo to open on Saturdays?
