Report on Clean Seattle Initiative
Cleanup: Queen Anne
Date of Cleanup: September 20, 2003
Departments: Seattle Parks and Recreation, Department of Neighborhoods, Seattle Department of Transportation, Seattle City Light, Seattle Public Utilities
On September 20, more than 70 residents, business owners, and other community volunteers joined forces to clean up the Uptown business district and Kinnear Park. Members of the Church of Scientology worked with students from Seattle University and Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation staff to weed and spruce up Kinnear Park. Meanwhile, neighborhood residents and business owners picked up litter, stenciled stormdrains to deter dumping, and weeded along sidewalks of the Uptown business district. The volunteers succeeded in removing almost 20 bags of litter and weeds from the business district.
Traffic Signs and Markings crews have started repainting the crosswalks requested by the community. They will continue to work in the area to try to complete the work before the fall rains begin.
