I look at the mountain across the lake every morning during coffee.
I’ve lived on Victoria Street since the Kerr [apartments] were destroyed. My kitchen looks onto the lane between Victoria and Baker.
I am right downtown and one building has been painted with professional graffiti very beautiful, as it is part of the Art Walk.
However, 50 feet away, toward Josephine, is a private garbage dump, with an art walk sign in the centre of it.
I called the city, and the city person took a look and agreed it was terrible and called the fire department.
One propane bottle was discarded. Many mornings I watch a truck pull in and add things to the pile of garbage.
I have to recycle and dispose of my garbage. Because he is a building owner is he exempt? How embarrassing watching tourists follow the art walk signs and point at the mess.
