A Cleaner Neighborhood in Many Ways


Posted by: Noel Jones


Three things are happening to make the West Ward a cleaner place to be:

  • 10th Street Escarpment to be cleaned and fenced: See Michael Duck's Valley 610 blog post here. He is looking for comments from WW residents, so please post one and thank him for covering our neighborhood! the City has scheduled a press conference for Thursday, April 22 at 3:00 pm at the site of the 10th Street illegal dumping area if you'd like to attend.
  • The new street sweeping program has begun! Click here to see the interactive map that Michael created for us, to see the new cleaning routes.
  • Below is a note from Sophia Feller at the WWNP regarding this year's clean-up day:
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED!! CLEAN-UP DAY IN THE WEST WARD IS SATURDAY, APRIL 24 FROM 9 TO NOON. MEET AT THE PARKING LOT ON WOOD AVE AND NORTH 9THSTREET (821 WOOD) AT 8:45 AM TO COLLECT SUPPLIES AND JOIN UP WITH A CREW.

I am just hoping that they do take the tires this year, we still have three from last year and I'll go down the escarpment, (My back yard) tonight or tommorow to bring up another or two. I must say that they are really pretty stinky and disgusting so I don't want to put them in the car. Will they be picked up if I just put them out on the curb? 9th and Wolf. We'd love to do our bit. But last year left both a bad taste in our mouths, and a small pile of stuff we haven't been able to get rid of yet. Any help here would be great.
Thanks,
David
