We the residents of Little Lehigh housing ,demand the commissioners of the Allentown,pa housing Authority area (located at Lawrence court and Lehigh st and corner of Doctor Martin luther king drive )to allocate funds for a new garbage enclosure. The precise needs of this location are clearly listed below in my paragraph.

1.) We do not have a Garbage Enclosure.

2.) We need a garbage enclosure built within the current location here at Little Lehigh residence for health and safety hazard precautionsor in other areas also in need. To protect the residence families who have to reside here.

3.) This will improve the safety and health environmemt here. It will also improve the appearance of Little Lehigh.

4.) A garbage enclosure maintains trash inside dumpsters such as rusty cans,sharp objects, and or furniture parts. (kids can fall and land on these dangerous parts and get hurt). instead of on the pavements also it keeps unwanted rain water from falling into dumpsters causing the smell to linger around. The garbage enclosure can prevent this health hazard.


THESE GARBAGE BINS,do not have any enclosures at all. Their are resident who live near by. Very closely. So many children play around that area. It is a health hazard to the resident and for the the children. It's also unatrattive in appearance and unsafe for humanity. The order lingers close range to opening our doors. Thus preventing residents from opening their doors on a windy day to get some fresh air. We cant because it smells polluted.It's not fair that our children and families have to see and smell this hazard on days were trying to enjoy the outdoors. Please consider all of the cons and the pros.


Thank you very much.


Sincerely,


An allentown housing resident.

The momentum behind this request for a garbage enclosure at Little Lehigh has grown significantly. This level of engagement confirms that our community prioritizes the health and safety of our families. I am now preparing to formalize our request for the Allentown housing commissioners to address these hazards.

Yes please do this because that dumbster having no walls is very unsanitary . and there is garbage everyday on the floor . and the stench is horibble. Also one more thingbis that the dumbsters do not have lids and leave the trash open to birds and animals who scavenge for that.!?

I am a current resident and the smell and garbage is very foul. We have to smell this odor and see garbage particles on the floor. Its disgusting. I have been to places that have garbage enclosures and the area on the floor is decent.

I agree we need a garbage enclosure, do to the fact it is a possible health hazard with the kids playing around.
