There Was An Announced Clean Up of 15th Street - Updated

There was an announced clean up of 15th Street from Orange to Walnut. The good news is that 15th Street was significantly cleaner than it was in the past. 32 gallons of trash was removed, and normally that distance would take twice as many bags. 

I will be trying to get the rest of 15th Street tomorrow, if there is time. Because this is Spring Break, which I have off, there will be additional clean ups this week, at least I hope. We'll also try to get a dumpster for larger items soon. Sorry, no before and after pics, I didn't have time.

The Sunday Safety Update will be published tomorrow, with some big news. The Go Long Beach Run was finished with 14 requests. 1 tagging, 9 illegally dumped items and 4 curb repair requests.

We continued this clean up on Easter Sunday and got from Cherry to Gaviota. That only leaves Gaviota to Walnut untouched. We would have gotten more but the alley by the Carneceria took up a lot of space in the can. Below you can see a before an after picture of that alleyway. It was important to clean because gangs do try to congregate there, so that alley in particular needs to look well kept.
