'Clean Up Your Block' Returns To Washington Heights And Inwood

UPPER MANHATTAN, NY — The "Clean Up Your Block" initiative is returning to Washington Heights and Inwood on Saturday.

It will be the initiative's second installation after a successful community cleaning effort last Saturday in the two neighborhoods.

Congress Member Adriano Espalliat and Assembly Member Carmen De La Rosa spearheaded the ongoing effort to clean the Upper Manhattan city blocks.

The event will take place Saturday from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. in the following six meeting places:

• 207th Street and Broadway
• 210 Sherman Avenue
• Dyckman Street and Broadway
• 181st Street and St. Nicholas Avenue
• Fort George Hill and Fairview Avenue
• 163rd Street and St. Nicholas Avenue

The effort to clean up the Washington Heights and Inwood streets is also in collaboration with New York State Senator Robert Jackson, Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez, Community Board 12, Mark Levine, District Leaders Many De Los Santos and Maria Morillo, and Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer.

In case you haven't heard, last week's first CLEAN UP YOUR BLOCK initiative was a great success! This Saturday, please join us again as we hit the streets of our neighborhood to beautify our streets. 6 locations will be targeted, one of them is sure to be near you. pic.twitter.com/VFZYBtFDdH
