Attack of the Leaves
Because the City of Philadelphia stopped deploying their street sweepers on December 1, the WSWCA concluded that an organized street cleanup in December was too much work for too few people. We're currently putting our energy into planning a January cleanup to make up for lost time and fallen leaves. Those of you who volunteered to help with the effort will be contacted shortly to begin the process.
In the meantime, we ask that all Wash West residents take a few extra moments to sweep and bag the leaves not only on their sidewalks, but whatever they can collect from the curbsides. This extra effort will avoid blocking storm drains, help minimize flooding, and make the entire neighborhood safer once snow arrives! (Although considering tomorrow's storm, this advice may be a TAD late. Enjoy the white stuff, everyone!)

Public Meeting on Bike Lane Pilot Project
The Mayor's Office of Transportation and Utilities will make a presentation on results of the bike lane trial on Spruce and Pine Streets.
Thursday, December 10, 6:30-8:30pm
University of the Arts, Levitt Auditorium
401 South Broad Street
Questions? Contact Charles Carmalt at Charles.Carmalt@phila.gov.
See It. Click It. Fix It.
Tonight, Wednesday, 11/18 at 7:00PM, the Society Hill Civic Association's regular membership meeting will include information about SeeClickFix. SCF is a widely-used community engagement tool where neighborhoods, advocacy groups, journalists and governments promote civic dialogue and resolve urgent issues.
Using SeeClickFix, any citizen may report and monitor concerns via the website, iPhone app, email or telephone. Citizen groups and government can then collaborate on resolving issues, which most frequently include litter, potholes, prostitution, graffiti, and unsafe intersections.
They will be giving specific examples and a live demonstration of the site at 7:00 PM at Pennsylvania Hospital, 8th and Spruce Street Auditorium.
Leaf Cleanup
The WSWCA is considering a street sweeping day in late fall, but requires volunteers to help with posting and removing signs. If you have a few hours to spare, please email us at info@washwestcivic.org.
For regular leaf pickup, the City no longer provides mechanical leaf collection service. This includes leaf blowers, mechanical sweepers and vacuums.
Beginning in the fall of 2009, leaves must be placed out in biodegradable brown paper bags alongside regular rubbish collections. Bagged leaves will be separated and composted. By using biodegradable bags, you will help crews work more efficiently and more easily identify your bags as leaves. Leaves set out in other bags or containers may be collected as rubbish. Landscapers and leaf cleaning services should remove and dispose of leaves privately.

See It. Click It. Fix It.
Tonight, Wednesday, 11/18 at 7:00PM, the Society Hill Civic Association's regular membership meeting will include information about SeeClickFix. SCF is a widely-used community engagement tool where neighborhoods, advocacy groups, journalists and governments promote civic dialogue and resolve urgent issues.
Using SeeClickFix, any citizen may report and monitor concerns via the website, iPhone app, email or telephone. Citizen groups and government can then collaborate on resolving issues, which most frequently include litter, potholes, prostitution, graffiti, and unsafe intersections.
They will be giving specific examples and a live demonstration of the site at 7:00 PM at Pennsylvania Hospital, 8th and Spruce Street Auditorium.
Leaf Cleanup
The WSWCA is considering a street sweeping day in late fall, but requires volunteers to help with posting and removing signs. If you have a few hours to spare, please email us at info@washwestcivic.org.
For regular leaf pickup, the City no longer provides mechanical leaf collection service. This includes leaf blowers, mechanical sweepers and vacuums.
Beginning in the fall of 2009, leaves must be placed out in biodegradable brown paper bags alongside regular rubbish collections. Bagged leaves will be separated and composted. By using biodegradable bags, you will help crews work more efficiently and more easily identify your bags as leaves. Leaves set out in other bags or containers may be collected as rubbish. Landscapers and leaf cleaning services should remove and dispose of leaves privately.
