The 2016 West Indian Carnival - Labor Day Parade thread.

On my section of EP, sanitation did a good job removing all of the paper trash. Hopefully a good rain will come soon to remove the jerk chicken grease. The ants, rats and local dogs are presently doing their best, but a rain would be a big help.

Also, people could just not throw stuff on the street.homeowner said:The way parade permits work in the city is that you pay a fee to receive your permit. Your permit fee includes costs for things like sanitation and police. So, WIADCA already pays for this. Could more be done to limit trash on the streets? Possibly, but remember that this is also affected by many other policies, such as the decision to remove trash receptacles from the commercial strips (with the though that their presence actually increases street litter).

They might use this same text every year:"The shootings that occurred were again at the J’Ouvert pre-dawn celebration in Brooklyn, NY – which has absolutely nothing to do with the West Indian American Day Carnival, now the New York Caribbean Carnival."
Howdy, Stranger!
