We have dispatched a crew the SW bike path near Allied to sweep glass up. Kari at Streets reports that she also received a call from an individual who has issues with the trash along the path. The Street Division has assigned a crew to go do a "quick clean up".
If we have volunteers willing to further clean up this segment of the trail please contact Tony Barlow at Streets West (267-1173). Thanks for your assistance. Larry D. Nelson, P.E.

The local organizer was thrilled and very pleased to see so much help and support cleaning up the neighborhood. Many of the buildings are now vacant, so the neighborhood assn may not be as strong, but if anyone wants to try to organize something, a few places to start are: Boys and Girls Club on Jenewein Rd (Mary Burke - sister of the president of Trek is president of the board): http://www.madison.com/communities/bgcdc/ Dream Bikes - bike shop and jobs training program located in the Allied Dr area. Mary Burke is also involved with this. http://dream-bikes.org/ Allied-Dunn's Marsh Neighborhood Assn: Alice Howard, 2106 Red Arrow Trl #9, Fitchburg, WI 53711, (H)608-270-0954, [email protected] Barry Hayes, 4605-H Crescent Rd, Madison, WI 53711 Alder Brian Solomon - an avid bicyclist - represents that area, and might have further ideas who to contact: [email protected] Robbie _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
