Our first Neighborhood Cleanup took place on Tuesday evening, June 16th. We had 12 neighbors attend, divided into several groups to cover different "zones" and picked up litter. Afterward we rendezvoused at Shelly's house for refreshments, thanks to our friendly neighborhood SAFEWAY! We shared stories and noted a few larger items and issues we may want to address in the future. It was the perfect way to end the evening.
We contacted the Public Works department and learned the City is responsible for trimming trees located between sidewalks and streets. We need only to provide a list of addresses for them to trim branches to make street signs/stop signs more visible and improve our head clearance on the sidewalks. You may see the City trimming trees soon.
Lastly, we are having an informal ICE CREAM SOCIAL on Friday, July 3rd from 5to 9 pm at the SHAMROCK Ice Cream Parlor on Athens. You can see it from the Subway by the Cypress Bridge. Invite a neighbor or a friend and walk, bike, or drive to the shop. It would be great to see a flood of support from the neighborhood. We hope you can make it!
Sincerely,
