public stairway – Mt. Washington Jessica Neighborhood

Jessica Triangle Work Party Sunday 6/30/19

Jessica Triangle Work Party 2016

HAPPY SUMMER!

Join us Sunday, June 30, from 10 am – 12 noon to help pull weeds and beautify our little pocket park. The extra rain this winter has created a very lush collection of weeds! Bring your favorite tools (gloves, clippers, rakes) – we’ll have trash bags, water and Paula to guide us!

Jessica Triangle is the landmark at the intersection of Jessica Drive and Cleland Avenue. Beginning in the late 90′s, local residents helped transform the triangle from a litter-strewn patch of asphalt to a beautifully landscaped drought-tolerant pocket park. You can read the inspiring story in Highland Park-Mount Washington Patch.

Please consider donating 30 minutes of your time or $10 from your pocket. Walk-by and drive-by cash donations accepted, or online at mtwashingtonjessica.org/donate/.

Also note our other beautification effort, the Oneonta -Olancha Stairs – we are collecting donations to pay for new murals at the bottom of the stairs. Find out more here and consider a dontation to that project too!

Oneonta-Olancha Stairs Cleanup – 6/25

The stairs could use a good sweeping!

Join us Sunday, June 25 from 9-11 am and help improve our neighborhood! We’ll be doing some sweeping, clipping, light trash pickup, and bagging of some of the weed debris on the sides of the Stairway.

If we can get 6 people to do 30 minute shifts, we should be able to get this done in two hours or less. If you can’t spare the time, consider a donation to beautification fund.

Hopefully we’ll still have some June Gloom in the morning so it won’t be too hot!

The public stairway is located between 1108 Olancha Dr. and 1109 Oneonta Dr.

Bring: gloves, sunscreen, clippers, brooms and dustpans. We will have water and garbage bags.
