I am a homeowner and property owner who lives on Oak Park Avenue on the block between Randolph and Pleasant streets, the block that has been closed for several weeks for sewer improvements. I have had the opportunity to watch/observe the contractor, A. Lamp Roadbuilders, perform their job, and I am impressed with how hard they work and the progress they’ve made. 

However, I am very disappointed with their lack of respect for maintaining the cleanliness of our street and properties. Each day, I find garbage with which the contractor litters our parkways and, unlike most construction sites, I’ve noticed that they do not have a construction dumpster on site. 

This contractor needs to respect the neighborhood, provide waste containers, and instruct/police their workers in their use.
