Build JW Peavey Trail & Mural

In partnership with Greater East End Management District, 5th Platoon will help build and create a new trail along 7200 block of JW Peavey connecting to Hidalgo (Mexican) Park. We will also assist in creating a new mural along the open wall on the same block. Currently, the street is being used frequently with runners and cyclist including children. The area is a frequent dump site for tires, and waste since it is in the back of the community, away from frequent vehicle traffic. We'd like to create a safe public space for pedestrians and cyclists to utilize and deter individuals from dumping. This is a multi-day project given the scope of work. This link is to register for the first day, Saturday, June 10th. We will be: TEAM GREEN: Clearing and Beautification will be clearing overgrown greenery along the trail. Trimming, cutting, weeding, raking, and breaking down tree branches and limbs. Team will also be picking up trash and debris in efforts to beautify the area. TEAM BLUE: Mulching and chipping overgrown greenery and branches TEAM RED: Safety will provide support to all teams to ensure everyone is safe throughout the day. Team members will pass out water, sports drinks, and snacks to all members throughout the day to ensure everyone stays hydrated and nourished. Team members will also pass out wet, cool cloths to all members to be placed on their heads and necks to keep body temperatures cool. Family friendly, children welcome.
