Monterey Blvd. Greening Work Day – Sunday, February 2 – 9:30 a.m.

There will be a greening clean-up Sunday Feb 2, starting on Monterey Blvd at Acadia, at 9:30am  The “pointy-bit” median needs trash pick-up and clearing of weeds & leaves around the plants. From there we’ll move to Circular, to pick up trash as far as we can go toward Judson. (It hasn’t been wet enough for most weeds to grow, which is both bad & good news.) 

You may have seen the new irrigation systems installed on the Monterey medians. We’re pleased the city has provided this, & we’ve asked when they will be activated. Please report any irrigation & other problems to us, and if it’s urgent, alert 311.

Thanks: we’ll be glad to have your help on Sunday!
