I like this idea! Maybe we can organize a neighborhood cleaning crew. We could make food and drinks for people on cleaning days and host a post-cleaning party with music!

Hey y'all,

Turns out it was Sand's (short, blonde fellow) - fwiw he also has a bike with similar white squareish-looking bins he sometimes brings into the space. 

I told him that our neighbors are being super uptight, and generally blame a lot on Omni with respect to debris & stuff on the sidewalk and street, and, if he was so willing, to not park his trailer along 48th or near the omni where it may technically obstruct the sidewalk and we get blamed of course. He agreed. Yay! For once a problem solved. 

Naturally its sort of ridiculous complaint but when I consider how many months Kwic's large trike was parked out in front of omni without moving, I understand a little bit when dude wants to walk his dog and constantly navigate obstructions. Apparently he was extremely irate.. we really dont want irate neighbors when it comes to permits n stuff. 

I think I am going to call for a revivified maintenance working group where as a service to our neighbors, we not only clean up regularly in front of omni but both sides of 48th all the way down to the end, too. Since cleanliness means so much to them (and I have heard this from multiple neighbors over a long time, it is clearly their #1 day-to-day concern with omni presently), this would show them materially that we are sensitive to their various hangups and expectations of their neighbors, of which we definitely are a biggie. 

Best,
David

Do you know who this trailer belongs to? 

One of our neighbors is convinced it belongs to someone who comes to the Omni and is very upset. He wants it gone in the next 48 hours.

I personally don't recognize it but if anyone on any of these lists knows who this trailer might belong to, please let that person know that if they do not remove it in the next two days, it will be gone.

Niki
