Railpath Cleanup Day April 2

March 23, 2011 - 11:25am — Scott D

Its time for the annual Railpath Cleanup and inspection

JT Railpath invites you to come out for an hour or so and help get Railpath off to a great clean start (although it never really stops). Meet under Wallace Bridge on April 2 at noon. Bring a garbage bag or two, some gloves, and a smile. The last 2 times we had a lot of fun rain or shine.

We split people into groups so that each person is picking recyclable or garbage and the best part is we leave the bags for Parks to come and pick up. Usually we get at least two people with bikes that have pull carts so that bags can be moved around.

Afterwards we can all head over to Angel's Cafe for a coffee.

Railpath is an important part of the community so lets help take care of it; a little bit of time makes a big difference. If you are planning on coming out post here so we have an idea.

Thanks for the Railpath cleanup!

Thanks everyone. You did a fantastic job. The Railpath looks so much better now, and the cleanliness was definitely noticeable, especially around Solways.

Apologies for not coming... J. and I will continue to do our little mini-cleanups when we're out walking. :)

I see that Warren has posted some photos from the cleanup in the Junction Triangle Pool on Flickr.

Thanks to Parks and Rec who dropped off garbage bags for the cleanup and enough to last a long long time.Peter White the area manager is a big Railpath fan.

Awesome

That's good to hear. It takes a bit of work occasionally to keep the Railpath looking good.

One other thing: What can be done about some of the Railpath neighbours whose properties are responsible for much of the junk that ends up on the path? I'm specifically thinking of Solways (huge amount of litter, foam dinosaur bits, and other crap that falls over the fence) and the Perth Ave. Coop, where a large amount of rubbish from their garbage area ends up on the path. If employees / residents of those places could take on their section of the path for occasional cleanups, or at least do something to keep the junk on their properties, it would go a long way to making it cleaner overall.

RailPath Cleanp

You are having the same problem as we do every spring and summer with the garden. The same people keep showing and but no new hands. I would be there myself if I didn't already have another volunteer commitment. I hope more people show up then is listed here. We would also love to have a few new hands helping in the Rankin Community garden on Sunday mornings this spring and summer.

Hey Scott,

Thanks again for organizing this. J, A, and myself are planning on coming. Though A sometimes has other opinions on what our plans should be.
