Rosemary Lane littered with trash after Friday street party

Trash littered Rosemary Lane after a street party caused a police response last Friday.

ABC 17 News was told that more than a thousand people who attended the party on Rosemary Lane didn’t clean up their trash.

Right now, Columbia is in the process of deciding whether to issue a fine or to ask whoever threw the party to clean up the mess.

The city also plans to clean up any trash that would slow or stop drivers from using the street.

It’s unclear if Columba will seek reimbursement for those costs.

ABC 17 reached out to Barry Dalton, Community Relations Specialist with Columbia Public Works, who said, “It looks like students had a party and didn’t clean up their mess. We are in the process of determining whose party it was and trying to determine whether a fine would be possible or appropriate … or a request for whoever sponsored the party to clean up their mess. However, if the students don’t pick up their mess, anything in the right of way would have to be cleaned up by the City. Whether or not we can or would try to recover those costs is yet to be determined.”
