Operation Clean Streets to be held Friday focusing on Garth Avenue

COLUMBIA, MO (October 4, 2016) - The City of Columbia's fourth Operation Clean Streets will take place this Friday, October 7 focusing on Garth Avenue between Broadway and Business Loop 70.  Operation Clean Streets is a special City employee work day focused on cleaning street curbs and sidewalks, picking up litter along streets, painting street markings, clearing vegetation and working in parks. Drivers are asked to use caution while on this section of Garth Avenue. 

Residents are invited to participate. Â Staff and resident volunteers will meet at 8:30 a.m. at Downtown Optimist Park, 100 E. Forest Avenue. Â Lunch will be provided to those volunteering on the project.

In conjunction with Operation Clean Streets, the Office of Neighborhood Services has placed dumpsters for resident use near Downtown Optimist Park on Grand Avenue, on Sexton Road just west of Garth and on Pendleton Street east of LaSalle Place. Dumpsters will be available for use through October 10. City staff will also pick up waste tires from residents in the neighborhood on Friday morning. Tires should be placed at the curb no later than 8:00 a.m. on October 7.

Friday's Operation Clean Streets is focused on the City's central strategic planning neighborhood. The goal of the project is to improve the appearance of Columbia's neighborhoods, build relationships with residents, and provide City employees an opportunity to engage with residents and one another.

Columbia residents interested in volunteering with Operation Clean Streets or who want to learn more should contact the Office of Neighborhood Services at 817-5050.
