It’s actually quite difficult to get a cigarette butt out of a sidewalk crevice once it falls in. That’s a battle downtown businesses have been fighting for years, but new initiatives may help. Keep Tyler Beautiful started an initiative this year to help curb the litter downtown. “We did a cigarette litter scan, where we literally walked around town and counted cigarette butts,” said Angela Cordova, Keep Tyler Beautiful community coordinator. “All of them are in flower pots and where the rose bushes are - those are all transition points where people have to put out their cigarettes.”
