Description: Hi, I wanted to bring attention to the condition of Hancock Woods behind the medical building at the corner of Independence Drive and VFW Parkway. Unfortunately, there is a significant amount of litter, including broken glass and alcohol bottles, from a recent St. Patty’s gathering. Many of us regularly walk dogs and children in this area, so the debris—especially the glass—poses a safety concern. It would be greatly appreciated if the area could be cleaned up as soon as possible. The debris is also in the standing water that is back there. So, the garbage needs to be removed from the water as well. It’s a hazard to wildlife. Additionally, when residents report activity in the woods, it would be helpful if responding officers could check further into the area rather than remaining only at the entrance of the woods, to help prevent situations like this from continuing. Installing a few trash receptacles throughout the space could also encourage people to dispose of waste properly and help keep the area clean and safe for everyone. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for helping maintain this shared space.
