About this Event
YOU'RE INVITED!
Join 'Wash Ave REFRESH!' - a coordinated, multi-phase effort to visibly improve Wash Ave through community participation, professional cleaning, landscaping, public-space investment, vacant-storefront art activation, & neighborhood relationship building.
On Saturday, November 7th we'll kick off Phase 1 with an exciting Community Cleanup Day. Our focus will be a 2-block stretch of Wash Ave (Tucker Blvd thru 14th St) & Lucas Park (next to Central Library).
Here's what we hope to accomplish:
- Clean under & reset displaced grates to improve walkability and even sidewalk pathways for our friends & neighbors with physical disabilities;
- Pick up litter and debris throughout the corridor;
- Wash vacant storefront windows;
- Pull weeds on Wash Ave & Lucas Park;
- Address simple, visible maintenance issues that can be easily & safely corrected;
- Discard broken planters;
- Remove irrelevant signage from posts.
