Cleanup day flyer

The Bicycle Club of Philadelphia is hosting a cleanup project as part of the Streets Department's April 5th Philly Spring Cleanup. The project is to sweep the two Columbus Boulevard bike lanes from Oregon heading south to the intersection of Front Street and Pattison Avenue. The Streets Department will close one side of the Boulevard at a time during the cleanup.

The Streets Department is assigning sweepers, and volunteers will bag and hand off debris to Streets Department personnel. The cleanup project starts at 9am. Volunteers are meeting at the intersection of Columbus and Oregon.
