📝 What We’ll Do
For the upcoming holiday weekend we’ll be keeping the work ‘light on Lytle’ :) There are a few lost sections of sidewalk and some pruning that is needed but the work should go quickly. If we finish early some of us may do additional pruning to clear a spots on streets nearby or may return to remove more dirt from the Boylston sidewalk that we cleared two weeks ago.

Photos and highlights from our last work event on Boylston
Our last work day cleared more than 25 years of dirt, growth and debris from sidewalk along multiple lots near 811 Boylston. This project was hard work but rewarding and the newly cleared sidewalk looks great. Big thanks to all that showed up two weeks ago and for doing multiple workdays worth of work in a single event!
Be sure to walk Boylston sometime to see the difference this reclaimed sidewalk makes to the area. You can also see the transition in the photos below.
A timelapse and photos from our 1st workday which cleared sidewalk on Dugdale can be found here.
