I've drove threw Marilla Park EVERY DAY for the past TWO WEEKS.  I have never seen so much TRASH thrown on the Ground out there.  I'm talking about Beer Bottles to Underwear.  This is a DISGRACE.  The City Council wants to put all this Money into the Park Uptown, what about THE OTHER PARKS IN STREATOR?  Marilla is the ONLY Park WE really have that a Family can enjoy. 
Such as Hike Trails,Play on the Swings,BBQ,have a Picnic and Fish.I've watched Marilla go downhill this past Year. The City did a GREAT Job in running the Low Lifes from the Park Uptown to Marilla Park.  It seems to be going downhill FAST. Not to MENTION the Pond at Marilla.  Are WE THE PEOPLE suppose to MOVE the Tree that has been stuck on the top of the Dam there I believe the BIGGER PART OF the Year?  That Parking Lot at the Pond is a Joke. |

I agree with the Dredging.  There is still some GREAT Fishing right there.  Do YOU really think the People that are having these Parties are taking Their TRASH up to the Top Level of the Park and THROWING it out?  |

You know what drives me crazy... the amount of Polar pop cups everywhere. I can't count how many I pick up. I think If WE ALL start picking Them up and TAKING THEM BACK to the Store They might get the IDEA to change something. Maybe a FREE REFILL if You bring in Your old Cup? |

Maybe video cameras at Marilla Park would help the littering problem.
Find the identity of the perpetrators and then ticket them for littering.
Unfortunately personal responsibility is difficult to find in today's society and you can't fix stupid.
You can't blame the merchants who sold the items for the trash nor the city for not being able to keep up on picking it up.
Blame the morons who are too lazy to find a trash receptacle or haul it home.
If those receiving government bennies would be required to do some form of work for their bennies park cleanup would be a great project for them. No skills required and it would teach them how disgusting littering is.

Stop blaming the City for everything. Remember when the restrooms were cleaned up not too long ago down there, it was less then a week and they were already graffitied. |

There will ALWAYS be People that will NOT take RESPONSIBILITY for Their OWN ACTIONS. We have a Police Department and City Council Members that can't OR won't take the actions that are needed to clean up this Town and the Trash in it. Maybe those HIGH DOLLAR Camera's would be better use at Marilla Park. As for making THOSE "Government Bennies" They would all scream how unfair it is to make Them dirty Their Hands. |

I've spent many a weekend afternoon at Marilla Park, and it's obvious that there are folks who simply don't care...
Seen them playing frisbee golf, and tossing their litter wherever they please because there aren't receptacles throughout the course...
Excuse me?...If you've got the energy to play the course then you've got the ability to clean up after yourself...
I have no problem picking up trash when I'm out there enjoying the peace and quiet (break from the trains), but I'll be damned if I won't say something when I see someone littering for no reason other than LAZINESS!!!

Didnt the city just invest a bunch of money for a redevelopment plan and comprehensive plan...wheels are in motion. It's not going to happen overnight. I have seen changes in the last couple of years that show that the city is working to clean up the town. It's some of the people of the town that make it difficult. |

It is unfair to me the taxpayer to have a substantial portion of my income deducted to pay for the government social programs. We as taxpayers need to demand that if benefits are paid out some form of labor is received in exchange. Surely these recipients are capable of doing some form of work to better our surroundings or society. |

I don't think the "Plans" You are referring to have anything to do with Marilla? What are some of the "Changes" You have seen in the last couple Years. |
