COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON:  MARK SCOTT

THIS JUST IN: AS OF AUGUST 1st, 2010 THE CITY IS NOW PICKING UP PLASTICS #3-#7!!! LEARN MORE ABOUT IT AT THE STREETS DEPARTMENT WEBSITE.

RECYCLE YOUR PLASTIC BAGS AT THE SOSNA OFFICE!! Tired of saving your old newspaper bags? Forget to bring them to the grocery store? Swing by 1901 Christian Street and recycle them at a convenient, central location.  Bring them by anytime during office hours - Monday: 9-7; Tuesday - Thursday: 9-4; Friday: CLOSED.

Clean, walkable, tree-lined streets, with public-open space and quality schools are the makings of a great neighborhood. The Clean & Green Committee has identified key areas important to creating and maintaining a pleasant, quality neighborhood. They cover trash/blight, walkability, parking, and open space.

Currently this committee interfaces with the City Planning Commission in their effort to improve walkability in Southwest Center City.  The committee is also working to determine the means to get our neighborhood cleaned up and to identify neighborhood features that could be improved to make our neighborhood safer.
