Can you help Fairmount Ravine neighbors finish what they started almost two weeks ago? As you might have seen in our coverage of their annual cleanup, they had so much to handle, from encampments to weeds, that they decided to follow up – so at 8:30 am this Saturday (March 23), they and anyone else who cares to help will meet again at Fairmount and Forest south of the ravine (map) for another couple hours of cleanup. John Lang tells WSB, “If enough people show up, we will clean the Admiral bridge sidewalk too. We did this 2 years ago and cleared off decades of leaf mulch and garbage. This is a heavily used pedestrian walkway to Admiral Junction.”

Is it safe for kids to be included in this activity?
If there are really encampments there, they could encounter needles, human waste, and who knows what else.

There was a lot of turf covered. It wasn’t all encampment area.

Thanks for making an effort to shovel and sweep up debris on the sidewalk of the bridge. Schmitz Park bridge along Admiral Way also could use an eventual once over. Thanks for your positive efforts and community improvements.

I think the child-safety issue was best left to the parents supervising their children. All in all they did a great job, and some of squirts were hard workers!

Sorry, comment time is over.
