Thanks to Mary for the photo and report:

An energetic group of neighborhood volunteers came together on this sunny morning to clean up the Delridge Triangle at Delridge Way SW/18th Ave SW/SW Barton St, and to clean up surrounding blocks. The clean-up was a joint effort between the South Delridge Community Group (SDCG) and Friends Of The Delridge Triangle (FDT). This is one step of a greater project in the works to redevelop the Triangle into a safe and usable community space where the neighborhood can play. The Delridge Triangle project was a Your Voice, Your Choice 2017 award recipient. The project is now moving forward and hopes for a boost from the 2018 Neighborhood Matching Fund.

The next Delridge Triangle clean-up will take place on Saturday 08/11 from 10:00 am – 11:00 am. All are welcome to join us. It’s a great way to start the weekend, keep our neighborhood clean, meet neighbors, and build community!

Thanks for your service a great example for us all to follow. As a delivery driver and cyclist I am curbside or along it quite a lot in the city. A significant amount of the debris along the curb line and in the street is garbage or recyclables that you and I put out for collection and dome how get strewn out of the collection trucks themselves. These platciscs and other non biodegradable accumulate in the dry months here when no rain falls and get broken down into mirco litter. Once we have significant rains they go into our storm drain systems and into Puget Sound. It’s important for us all to pickup litter when we seeit, at least try. Thanks again for your service!
