A quick update from Moira Quinn at Charlotte Center City Partners, re the new cigarette urns uptown:
“The urns are all in Uptown. They were installed on Wednesday, December 30. The TOTAL cost for all 24 was $3,000 (about $125 each). They will save a lot of man-hours to keep city crews from picking up the cigarette butts from the sidewalks. We pride ourselves on having clean sidewalks, so we would have expected our uptown crews to sweep them up. Hopefully, there will be fewer to sweep and those crews can spend their time doing other work.”
This refers to my posting yesterday about the new cigarette urns.
