I have noticed excessive litter all along the length of Broadway, from Otis to Blanding. The litter is on sidewalks, green strips, and people's front yards. This has been an ongoing problem for years - I hesitate to walk my dogs along Broadway because of all the litter and other dogs' waste. This area is heavily trafficked but does not seem to get regularly cleaned like Park Street does.
Other streets which have chronic excessive litter in yards and on sidewalks and green strips are Park Avenue, Webb, Santa Clara between Park and Oak (the area by CVS, especially the Wells Fargo ATMs is disgusting). There are many more problem areas - all the busy streets need sidewalk clean up.
Additionally, the park between Park Ave E and W is usually full of litter. And Crown Beach has always had excessive litter all along the length of it! Even the shoreline that runs east of Broadway has litter all along it, and that is supposed to be a haven for waterfowl.
I love Alameda, but I am just so sick of seeing people's garbage when I would otherwise enjoy a walk, or the park, or the beach.

The City of Alameda has a weekly street sweeping program to try to address litter on all public maintained streets. We collect a large amount of litter every year on roadways and we do contract out landscape services on medians and along some roadsides. This helps but unfortunately, people still litter and litter is at the mercy of the wind. We will continue to do our part in picking up litter on City Maintained streets and landscapes.
Thank you for taking the time, should you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Public Works Department at (510) 747-7930
Sincerely,
PW Supervisor
