We are moving forward with the cleanup that has to be done everyday for the safety of the children that play at the beach, and of course, not forgetting our surrounding neighbors.

This is the latest condition. This requires St. Joseph Center to provide  signs and bags to pick up dog waste in the landscaped area along Hampton Ave. The following came to my attention this week, which was an addition to the April 3, 2015 conditions.

If this is St. Joseph’s attempt to clean up this area, they missed a spot.

This man was seen on Rose ave and the alley pulling this trash can around with wheels. Is this St Joseph Center’s Janitorial Services now in action? After a 14-year hiatus, they are here? No poop shovel or brooms so I was wondering if he was going to pick up feces with his hands? Hmmmm Lame!         rick1

This is only sign  posted and it was posted on the North side of Rose Ave storm drain.  If one were coming from the south, one would not see it at all!  If there is Hepatitis A in the feces that drains down to area kids love to play in, there could be a serious health problem.

(Photos courtesy of Rick Swinger.) North end of 3rd seems very normal.  South end, near Sunset, is starting to repopulate with homeless on the sidewalk.

The infamous 3rd Avenue in Venice is showing signs of possibly evolving as  a normal Venice Street with people parking and women pushing the baby carriages.

Rick Swinger, resident of Rose near 3rd, took an active part and started a Go Fund Me account to help with the costs.  One Friday in mid September, the Sanitation department took the “stuff” lined up on Rose fitting the category of too big for the 60-gallon can in accordance with LAMC 56.11 and stored the items in the downtown storage facility.  People came back from the beach to find that their “stuff” had been put in storage.

Close to this happening, the County Disease Control declared a Hepatitis A outbreak in County and stated that homeless were particularly vulnerable.  At the same time residents and homeless were complaining about produce being dumped on 3rd and creating a rat infestation.
