The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
A trash can right next to the bus stop on Gove St and Meridian St. Has to be next to the bus stop so people use it. Currently there’s a trash bag hanging from the fence as trash can
Who it helps and why
Low income people mostly use public transit and they should be able to wait for public transit in a clean space especially now that more people use transit since trafic in east Boston is bad due to tunnel closure
