The
second annual Grant Street Cleanup, hosted by Assemblyman Sean Ryan, is taking
place beginning at 10 a.m., May 4 .
Volunteers
are asked to meet at Ryan’s office, 65 Grant St.
Some
gloves, garbage bags and brooms will be provided, but volunteers are being asked
to bring their own supplies. Coffee and donuts will be available.
Joining
the cleanup will be West Side and Grant Street community groups, block clubs,
businesses and environmental activists.
“We are happy to partner with local community
groups and organizations to make this happen once again. It's truly great to
see so much enthusiasm towards cleaning up our roads and environment from the
West Side community,” said Ryan’s constituent services coordinator, Nicholas
Beiling.
Last year, Ryan’s office installed 48
new anti-litter street signs to enforce the importance of maintaining the
cleanliness of Grant Street. The signs have been installed between the corners
of Grant and Arkansas streets to Grant Street and Forest Avenue. By Kaitlyn
