Ugly Maple Street Canal

Above Photo:  Maple Street Canal in the Three Mile Creek watershed continues to be filled with the community of Mobile's litter chunker trash. That is because Mobile and Alabama do not have a single person working to remove the community's trash pollution from this 1/4 mile long polluted waterway. Complaints about that Ugly fact since 2011 have not given the City of Mobile any incentive to remove the trash from this City's property yet. 

The sorry ass leaders in Mobile and Alabama do not give a fuck about "The Bottom" area of Mobile probably because it is a low income black area. The rich white people in Dog River get the litter trap and a litter boat.

There is so much trash underwater in Maple Street Canal that the water is now too shallow for a motor boat to access. A shallow creekbed promotes the growth of aquatic weeds further clogging the waterway. An increasingly shallow and clogged waterway negatively affects the ability of storm water runoff to drain which can cause unnecessary flooding in the Bottom and other downtown Mobile areas.

The City that refuses to deal with its Ugly criminal litter problem ends up with an increasing amount of its own MS4 trash on their own City of Mobile property labeled as Owens School Park on Google Maps.

The City of Mobile is Two-Faced. City leaders passed municipal code requiring residential and commercial property owners to keep their property free of litter on a daily basis, yet the City of Mobile will NOT remove the trash on their own property despite YEARS of complaints.

Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson and Mobile Councilman Levon Manzie are responsible for ignoring this waterway pollution and are therefore complicit in ignoring environmental pollution complaints. They should be charged accordingly and sent to jail where leaders who ignore pollution belong.
