Big City Cleanup in Progress - Excellent!

I almost feel like I am at work! "Attention all aircraft, men and equipment working alongside the runway. Use caution while taxiing."

This morning the air was filled with the sound of power washers, leaf vacs, weed trimmers, and men, women, and equipment working on cleaning up the Third Street Tunnel pathway. There were so many City trucks on St. Augustine that one could hardly squeeze by.

I took a walk and found all the new graffiti, as seen in my last post and some from the past, had been removed, all the bushes neatly trimmed, the freeway culvert graffiti painted over...holy smokes Ollie! It almost looks like the City is preparing for a big get-together or something. You think?

It looks like the beautification issues are well in hand..kudos to the City. This is an excellent example of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). Now all we need to do is get our arms around the bigger issues of prevention.

Fellow Benicians, tonight is your night to put forth your ideas and hear those of our City leaders.

To the City of Benicia, thank you for excellent response.
