Letter: Clean up odors at bus stops

Tuesday, May 16, 2000 | 9:19 a.m.

Mobile street sweepers are doing a fine job, but their rotating brushes don't reach the accumulated filth on sidewalks.

A case in point is the bus stop on the southwest corner of Maryland Parkway and Charleston Avenue. It's a busy transfer point for CAT bus riders. It's also a haven for hustlers, idlers and panhandlers complete with bottles, cans and carts.

The area's sidewalk is contaminated and smells like the inside of a kitty litter box. Maybe those benefiting from the ads should spend effort washing the displays and rinsing down the stoops.

Better money down the drain than pouring it in a rathole of bureaucratic inefficiency.
