You Can See It From Space.

I went for a walk/run/ride today to work off some of the gravy and pecan pie and started in the Forest Preserves which was lovely until I got to this area. The Desplaines River divides Maywood & River Forest and borders a beautiful preserve of indigenous oak savanah.

This Google satelite image (above) shows the area which is east of the Lake Street Bridge in an area loosely defined by the Cook County Forest Preserve. Unfortunately, there have been at least five cases of construction debris dumping in the recent past.

I'm going to do some research on private funding for clean-up and send this link to the local and state rep's. If anyone knows of a model for local waterway clean-up, please let me know.

And it looks like at least one municipality dumped a bunch of old light poles.
