[RP TownTalk] Litter Pickup

[Dwight Holmes]

IIRC, a couple of people offered to tend one or both of the small
triangular parks along Lafayette when there was discussion of repurposing
those as native plant gardens.  I believe we were told there was a plan in
the works (by the council and/or Public Works, I don't remember) and to
hold off for the time being.  Seems like a great idea to me.  As does all
of this.  (And, yes, something that wasn't tied to a particular Saturday
slot would help some of us participate).
