A concerned citizen files a 311 complaint about all the wheelchairs, bicycles and shopping carts getting dumped into the Fort Point Channel by the Jimmy Kelly Bridge.
What is the department responsible for clearing discarded wheelchairs shopping carts and bicycles, etc. thrown out at the 4th Street Park on the South Bay Harbor Trail Boston has developed? They're just getting dumped into Fort Point Channel.

There was that English comedian from the 70s who said there must be a society that ensures every stream in the country contains a rusty bed frame. And they have a Ladies Auxiliary that puts a shopping trolley in every brook.
