Join us for the 4th and final NCNA Safe Sidewalk Summer workday
📅 When
This Saturday, July 19th 8-10 AM
workdays will resume after the Summer heat subsides
📍 Where
Look for the crew near 1213 Worthington Street. Most of the clearing work is needed on Worthington Street near Garnett, at the top of the hill, but there are spots near Hixson Pike that need pruning as well.
🧰 What to Bring
Must-haves: water, work gloves, sturdy shoes
Nice-to-haves: hedge trimmers, loppers, rakes, flat tipped shovels, leaf blowers, wheel barrows, 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 in a few sections on Worthington that will require trimming and clearing. If work on Worthington finishes early there are additional cleanup opportunities nearby.

We had a productive group on hand for our July 5th workday on Lytle and were able to clear 400 feet of sidewalk, with varied levels of overgrowth, from Tremont to 515 Lytle.

📍 Where
515 Lytle Street, about mid-way between Colville and Tremont.

📝 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.
