It's no secret that many of city streets have suffered since November, when the city stopped sweeping some of them--not Georgetown and Dupont Circle of course. As a result of the city's respite, coupled with the refusal of pedestrians to throw trash in receptacle and residents to pick up the areas outside their homes, the streets of Columbia Heights and Petworth have become an absolute mess. It's like citizens began to throw their garbage out their front doors when the snow started coming down.
