Join the Fall 2025 Safe Sidewalk Workdays

Join us for the Fall NCNA Safe Sidewalk workdays

📅 When

• This Saturday, October 25th 9-11 AM

  • and Saturday, November 11th 9-11 AM

📍 Where

Look for the crew across the street from 1007 Mount Vernon Avenue. The sidewalk on the Southwest side of Mount Vernon Ave. from Albany St. downhill is blocked by overgrowth.

🧰 What to Bring

• Must-haves: water, work gloves, sturdy shoes

• Nice-to-haves: hedge trimmers, loppers, rakes, flat tipped shovels, leaf blowers, small saws, weed eaters
  (We’ll have extra tools on site, so come even if you’re empty-handed.)

📝 What We’ll Do

There is overgrowth blocking the sidewalk from Albany St. downhill on the Southwest side of Mount Vernon Ave. that will require trimming and clearing. We’ll cut the overgrowth and pile it in the roadway for city pickup. We may spend both Fall workdays at this location but will update this blog if the 2nd workday will be relocated.
