Glendale Boulevard Community Cleanup

Let’s make this “Gateway to Echo Park/Silver Lake” into a zone that truly represents what the area has to offer. While this area from Berkeley Avenue to the 2 Freeway will not be transformed over night, we are starting with a trash pick-up/clean-up day on Saturday November 5, 2011 from 9:00 a.m. to noon. The initial phase will consist of trash pick-ups and graffiti removal. It is then my hope that outreach and community awareness will lead to future tree plantings, revitalization and eventually to a clean, green, inviting boulevard of which we can be proud.

Meet at 9:00 a.m. in front of Jack in the Box restaurant at 1710 Glendale Boulevard in Echo Park.

Stay tuned for more details regarding the upcoming clean-up day and/or contact Echo Park resident Josh Post at josh@joshpost.com
