Gentlemen:

As you can see from Mario Tello a Glendale California resident for 30 years he just took these pictures of Home Depot on May 3, 2005. The photographs demonstrate the problems Glendale residents face despite the best intentions of Home Depot. For instance it was the City of Glendale that removed the toilet left on the side of the Depot { I am not sure that was intended as metaphor by the Depot}. The depot was asked to remove it for more than a week, it never did, the City picked it up in 25 minutes, from the time of the report. Is our City going to be that vigilant in picking up after Home Depot?

 

Commissioner Regalado may be thinking this looks better than Eight Street does now. The point is that Home Depot will not self police whether its California or Florida. The Max Strang plans have been submitted now is the time to represent the citizens and not big business. The tax dollars you believe you will net will be more than spent picking up after this bad corporate neighbor.

Hello Barry,

I have lived in Glendale California for over 30 years I have lived next to the Home Depot since It was built. I understand your community has concerns over the Home Depot Moving in.

These are pictures I took last night (the front of Home Depot) and today (the back of Home Depot).

As you can see from these pictures. The Home Depot does not seem to care about there surrounding community.

It would be so simple to have somebody sweep up 2 times a day pick up there carts and if they saw garbage or something that should not be there to pick it up or call the city to come pick it up, during this walk they could also do maintenance checks but they don't.

I emailed and called the city today.

I have also sent you pictures of a dangerously leaning light post. The pictures were taken on 5/03/05. I called the city and as you can see it has been removed.
