LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT LOCAL 4 NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. CONFUSION AND FRUSTRATION. PARK
IS NOW CHANGING UP. IT’S TRASH
ROAD ROUTINE AFTER SEVERAL LATE
COLLECTIONS, TRASH THAT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE PICKED UP TODAY
IS GETTING PICKED UP TOMORROW,
BUT THE CITY SAYS THE CHANGE
WILL SOON SOLVE THE ISSUE.
MCDONALD TRYING TO SORT IT ALL
OUT IN OAK PARK TONIGHT,
TOMORROW, THE CITY JUST GOT A
NEW HALL OR A COUPLE OF MONTHS
AGO. THAT’S RIGHT, DEVON AFTER
THE OLD HALLER GAVE UP THE
CONTRACT, AND WITH THAT NEW
HOLLERED WELL, THEY SAY THAT THE
FORMER TRASH SCHEDULE IT’S JUST
NOT LOGISTICALLY FEASIBLE. SO
THERE NEEDS TO BE A CHANGE. LET
ME SHOW YOU TODAY IS ONE OF TWO
TRASH DAYS IN OAK PARK. BUT AS
YOU SEE CANS ARE STILL AT THE
CURB, USUALLY PICK IT UP ON
TIME. BUT HOLLER G FL IS RUNNING
A DAY BEHIND SCHEDULE. INSTEAD
CANS WILL BE PICKED UP TOMORROW
GETS DONE BECAUSE WHEN IT
DOESN’T GET PICKED UP YOU CAN
SMELL IT IN THE AIR OVER OAK
PARK’S GARBAGE AT THE REQUEST OF
SAKURA, THE SOUTHEASTERN OAKLAND
RESOURCE RECOVERY AUTHORITY
ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO, AFTER THE
CITY’S PRIOR, HALLER GAVE UP THE
CONTRACT AND OAK PARK WAS TOLD
THE FORMER TWO DAY TRASH PICKUP
ROUTE. IT WAS NO LONGER
LOGISTICALLY FEASIBLE. WORKING
WITH OUR PARTNERS SOCCER AND VFL
. WE HAVE NOT HAD, YOU KNOW,
WEEKS LONG DELAYS AND THINGS
LIKE THAT. BUT IT’S BEEN A DAY
OR TWO HERE AND THERE MONDAY,
THE CITY WILL ROLL OUT THE NEW
TRASH PLAN. ANYTIME YOU’RE
SWITCHING SOMETHING AFTER A LONG
PERIOD OF TIME WITHOUT BEING IN
PLACE, YOU KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE
CONFUSING, WHICH IS WHY OAK PARK
WILL HAVE AN EMAIL AND PHONE
CAMPAIGN TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW
THE CITY WILL BE DIVIDED INTO
FIVE DISTRICTS. EACH WILL HAVE
ITS OWN TRASH DAY. AND WHILE IT
WILL TAKE A MINUTE TO GET
EVERYBODY UP TO SPEED GET PICKED
UP ON TIMES. IT DOESN’T MATTER
ME WHAT DAY IT IS. BACK HERE
LIVE WHILE THE CITY IS GOING TO
UNVEIL ITS NEW TRASH COLLECTION
SCHEDULE NEXT WEEK WITH EMAILS
AND PHONE CALLS, DON’T EXPECT
THE WHOLE SERVICE TO CHANGE
OVERNIGHT. THEY SAY THEY KNOW
IT’S GOING TO TAKE A MINUTE FOR
PEOPLE TO GET USED TO IT.
POSSIBLE TARGET DATE OF GETTING
THIS UP AND RUNNING IS AUGUST
1ST, BUT IT COULD COME SOONER.
WE’RE LIVE IN OAK PARK TONIGHT.
I’M MARA MACDONALD LOCAL 4.
TOMORROW RIGHT NOW WE’RE
FOLLOWING BREAKING NEWS FROM
ALABAMA, WHERE POLICE SAY A
SHOOTER OPENED FIRE INSIDE A
CHURCH, KILLING TWO PEOPLE AND
WOUNDING ANOTHER. IT’S ST
STEPHEN’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN
FESTA VIA HILLS. THAT’S A SUBURB
OF BIRMINGHAM. POLICE SAY A
SMALL CHURCH MEETING WAS TAKING
PLACE AT THE TIME WHEN THE
GUNMAN WALKED IN. AND STARTED
SHOOTING. THERE IS A SUSPECT IN
CUSTODY, THOUGH WE DO NOT HAVE
WORD YET ON A MOTIVE WILL KEEP
FOLLOWING THIS MORE INFORMATION
FOR YOU JUST AS SOON AS IT
BECOMES AVAILABLE. WELL, IT’S
CRAZY TO SAY THAT GASOLINE
PRICES FALLING BELOW $5 A GALLON
WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TO DRIVERS
OUT THERE AND THAT COULD BE ON
THE WAY. THAT’S ACCORDING TO ONE
GAS ANALYST, LET’S BRING IN
JASON COLTHORPE WHO’S TALKING TO
DRIVERS ABOUT THAT TONIGHT,
JASON AND THE SIMPLE THING HERE
KIM IS. PEOPLE ARE JUST GETTING
STRETCHED TOO THIN AS IT IS
RIGHT NOW, AND THE DESPERATION
IS STARTING TO SHOW. NO MATTER
WHERE YOU LIVE IN METRO DETROIT
, YOU JUST CAN’T HIDE FROM SKY
HIGH GAS PRICES IS UP AND
DROPPING OFF TO WORK. WE DO A
LOT, UH, GOT TO FILL UP AT LEAST
TWICE A DAY, AT LEAST COURTNEY
POWELL OF INKSTER EVEN HARDER
BECAUSE HE AND HIS WIFE SHARE
THE CAR AND BOTH WORK. THAT’S
GOT TO BE AT LEAST 1000 BUCKS A
MONTH, RIGHT? IT’S LIKE A BILL.
YEAH, IT’S LIKE PAYING RENT NOW
FOR GAS. SIGNS OF DESPERATION
ARE EVERYWHERE ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
THIS POST FROM MACOMB COUNTY
USER TODAY SELLING A RING
DOORBELL CAMERA AND IT READS
HAVEN’T HAD THE CHANCE TO USE
IT. BUT AT THIS POINT GAS IS
MORE IMPORTANT. MOST DEFINITELY
PUT AN EXTRA THREE POINT HOURS A
WEEK AWAY. JUST JUST FORGET.
JUST BE SAFE. THEY’RE STILL NOT
HIGH ENOUGH FOR THOMAS WADE TO
COME DOWN FROM USING PREMIUM GAS
. DOES IT HAVE TO GET FOR YOU TO
ACTUALLY GET REGULAR UNLEADED $6
? WE WILL ON OUR WAY. SOME
FORECASTS DO BELIEVE THAT BUT
GAS ANALYST PATRICK DEHAAN
TWEETING SOME HOPE TODAY. MORE
GREAT LAKES. GAS PRICES SHOULD
START FALLING BACK UNDER $5 A
GALLON THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY
NEXT, WE’LL SEE IF THIS HOLDS A
TINY BIT OF OPTIMISM, BUT UNTIL
THAT HAPPENS, VERY DRIVING, JUST
WORK HOME CHURCH HOME. THAT’S IT
THERE AND BACK THAT NOTHING MORE
. JASON. GETTING BELOW. $5 IS A
NICE START. YOU TALKED TO A LOT
OF DRIVERS TODAY. WHAT ARE THEY
SAYING ABOUT HOW MUCH IT REALLY
NEEDS TO DROP TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE? I THINK A LOT OF
PEOPLE WATCHING RIGHT NOW. NO
THAT’S JUST NOT GOING TO DO IT.
AND IN TALKING TO MR POWELL, FOR
EXAMPLE, HE SAID, FOR IT TO MAKE
A DIFFERENCE FOR HIM AND HIS
FAMILY. IT’S GOT TO GET BACK TO
AROUND $2 A GALLON FOR PEOPLE
TO, YOU KNOW, CATCH BACK UP
AGAIN. KIM THAT OKAY, JASON,
