<div dir="ltr">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).</div>

I would like to suggest that we start a bi-weekly or monthly community trash pickup. I can be responsible for sending out the reminders and coordinate with Town personnel. What this would require is commitment from each and every resident to curve out two hours of their Saturday morning to walk with other neighbors and pick up trash.</span></div>

many in town, but would love to be able to walk down the street and know more residents.</span></div><div> </div><div>With the knowledge that the Town is divided by major roads, we can focus on different sections at a time, maybe starting with the afore mentioned bridge with tents.</div>
<div> </div><div>If anyone is interested, you can email me directly or respond to this thread. Can someone direct me to whom I need to get in contact with to obtain litter pickers and trash bags?</div><div> </div><div><div>
