Trash and road debris in OK is as bad as it was in Kansas City. I do not understand how/why anyone would not be embarrassed for their city/or state. When one enters a state, the condition of the roadway lends impression to the condition of the state. Slipshod, uninterested, lazy, uneducated, and unconcerned are words that come to mind when I see highway trash piled this high.
Our state is not perfect in the trash department, but NOTHING like this. In comparison, we are pristine.
On to finding solutions…
Work teams, clubs, groups, families, inmates, companies, and individuals could be challenged to help with clean up. Street crews could be called out by enforcement for large items. Half a roadway shutdown for cleanup may just get people interested in getting it done. There is nothing like being at a snail pace to recognize an issue… ticketing/fining of litterers.
Perhaps just common sense… increase in licensing fees with the increase noted as road clean up. Educating the young and old ref litter may also help.
Guess I have spouted off enough.
