Gateway DC Launches Cleanliness Effort

Gateway has launched a program aimed at keeping upper Georgia Avenue's sidewalks and curbs cleaner in 2008! The program will provide part-time sweepers to sweep the sidewalks and curbs along the upper Georgia Avenue corridor from Georgia/Fern to Georgia/Eastern Avenues on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Workers will also retrieve debris from treeboxes and planter sets along the DC Gateway Georgia corridor. Services do not include snow removal and the street sweepers do not work in inclement weather.

The street sweepers will work two shifts on each of the above days: from 8a to 10a, and then from 1p to 3p. "This program is a good start to reducing some of the unsightly trash that can accumulate on a heavily trafficked corridor like Georgia Avenue", noted Gateway Executive Director Marc D. Loud. We wish to thank our sponsor, the D.C. Department of Housing and Community Development. For more information, contact Gateway program manager Joshua Lopez at gatewysafety@aol.com or 202-291-2400.

Gateway-Georgia Avenue Revitalization Corporation is a community development corporation chartered in 1997 to spearhead revitalization along Georgia Avenue. Our service area extends between Walter Reed Hospital in the District of Columbia and the Discovery Communications facility in South Silver Spring, Maryland.

Some of the strongest demographics in the City of Washington provide the potential for a vibrant neighborhood business district along Georgia Avenue.

South Silver Spring, Maryland, features large footprint opportunities for smart-growth redevelopment projects. The area has been designated by Montgomery County as an Arts and Technology District. Several anchor-quality presences are already in place. An arts-education-and technology hub of regional distinction is in the making.
