Re: Clean up results.

Thanks, Dan, and to everyone who helped.  Amazing what can be found along the banks of the creek!!

    Way to go Pleasanton and our friends at the Emerson Ave. Baptist Church!!!!!!

Last Saturday, despite the wet and cold weather a good handful of neighbors and friends cleaned up the Pleasant Run Parkway Greenway and the Kin Hubbard Memorial Park. We started at 8am and stopped a little after noon. We compiled approx. 50 bags of trash, and a number of other oddities that have plagued our Greenway for a long time. What a great accomplishment it was to see the participation from the neighborhood and our friends at the EABC. Great job!

So with that said I would like to encourage anyone who might walk in the neighborhood to bring a small bag with you, and if you see some trash or litter pick it up. A little bit helps. If you walk your dog(s) then you should have one bag with you, so why not bring two.

Also, to give everyone a heads up on the KIB Adopt-A-Block program. Norway, Maple, and the 300-350 block of Polplar has AAB Coordinators. We still need the remaining portion of Poplar, Michigan, Emerson, and the Parkway. Mainly they look for trash or litter. KIB will give out flowers and trees for blocks that keep their block clean of litter. If interested visit the Keep Indianapolis Beautiful website and sign up. You will recieve a street clean up kit.

If anyone has suggestions or comments let's share them.

Again, a big thank you to everyone who helped and gave their time and effort in keeping the neighborhood a cleaner place to live.

April 14th Spring Clean up and other info

 Hello Neighbors. Last reminder for the Spring Clean Up. April 14th starting @ 8 am. We will be meeting at the Kin Hubbard Memorial Park. I will have gloves and trash bags to distribute. We will start with the K.H. and work our way along the green way. We will have until 3pm to get things cleaned up. Initially it was 11am but was informed that we have until 3pm. Molly Wilson acquired gloves and trash bags for us to use. So make sure you thank her when you see her.

 

I met with Ruth Ann Walker, the Mayors Eastside Neighborhood liasion. She has since put the request into the Mayors Action Center. She has the addresses of the homes with sidewalk issues, they are on the masterlist for DPW for 2012. She did state that they might not get done this year. Also, the streets have been put on a list for resurfacing. She also stated that these wouldn't get done until 5 years or so.

 

Last but not least, the curve in the parkway. DPW engineers came out and looked at it and stated that there is appropriate signage and that they will come out and restripe the lines in the street.

 

Also, I addressed signage and she stated that IPL will not place any signs on the street lamps. She did suggest that we use the Crimewatch posts to place the signage.

 

I anyone has questions about this stuff please email me or ask me on Saturday at the clean up.

 

Thanks Dan
