Is this what Louis St Laurent and 4th Line will look like if things keep up? I dont know about you but its getting rather annoying.
For those who dont know about the area, this intersection will be the new home of a public Milton high school and other ammenities in the coming years. But what seems to be happening, given the fact that construction hasnt started yet, is people are using this area as a dumping ground for their garbage and nothing seems to be done about it.
Over at the Hawthorne Villager Forum, there is a discussion going on about what can be done about it. Seems appropriate considering today is Earth Day. It just seems people like to treat their community like a dump.
Colin Best, Regional and Town Councillor in Milton responded to some of the concerns on the blog by saying this. If you see anyone in Milton illegally dumping garbage … CALL THE TOWN with the plates of the vehicle and descriptions as well.

| Hi Synergy and other posters
Yes the Town is working on more enforcement of littering. Last week at the committee meeting I requested staff to review the 1991 littering by-law and step up enforcement which the committee agreed on as our engineering staff is doing weekly pickups on streets such as Louis St. Laurent Blvd. If you do see people dumping please take their licence plates and call the Town either at 905-878-7252 during the day or 905-878-7141 after hours and weekend line.
Monday night committee also approved the accelerated the design and construction of the next section of Louis St. Laurent from Yates to Highway #25 in the next year which will increase the traffic and make it more difficult for anyone to stop and dump, as the design will be similar to Thompson Road and Derry Road with curbs and sidewalks linking the area.
