On Friday April 10, some people were seen dumping soil and rocks from the edge of Ridgedale Avenue down the very steep cliff above residences on Penticton Avenue.
Isn’t this illegal dumping?
The rocks could cause a slide down the cliff and cause damage to the properties below.
Also observed along that same stretch (1500 or 1600 blocks of Ridgedale Avenue) some household trash has been thrown down the cliff, and yard waste such as leaves and pine needles.
Adding fuel to possible brush and grass fires along the slopes.
Please people — think of what you are doing! Do not dump your trash or waste down the cliff from Ridgedale Avenue.
Residents across the street on Ridgedale should be vigilant and if they see anyone doing this please report it to the authorities immediately to catch these people in the act of illegal dumping.
