Our most recent cleanup in May alone collected 2,080 pounds of trash. Since the program launched, we’ve removed several tons of debris across six corridors.

Building on the 2024 Renaissance Park Connectivity Master Plan, the project focuses on improving pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular safety while strengthening connections between commercial destinations and nearby neighborhoods.
