A cash crop

I think the city should set cameras up at all the entrances and exits of 95 and 76 etc...and fine people for littering like they do for running red lights. Cops should work undercover and ticket people for littering. It is amazing to me that there are trash cans at practically every corner in Center City and people still toss garbage anywhere. I think a few $300 littering fines would make people think twice before they trash their environment. Besides doesn't this city need more cash anyway?
