The neighborhood is bounded by Glenn, Tucson Blvd, Grant, and Campbell. At Glenn, the wash goes into a culvert and runs underground (except when it floods) through La Madera to the Navajo(?) wash at Mountain and Ft. Lowell. You don’t want to mess with going into the culvert.
I’d suggest access is easier if you start at Copper St. and work north to Glenn. You might also want to scope out the height of the grass ahead of time. If it’s too much, you may see if Regina Lundgren has called the City to request a wash cleanup – they bring large machinery to cut down the grass. I do have an electric weed trimmer, and the resident at the northwest corner of Copper and Wilson is on the listserv and would probably provide power. A gas weed whacker would be more appropriate, but no one has ever volunteered to lend one.
I’d hesitate to work south of Copper in the concreted section without discussing it first with the cleanup crew, and maybe at a neighborhood meeting. There is, or was, a homeless camp under the Water St. bridge. Last time Michael Geddis took a crew down there, they were collecting hypodermic needles and human feces, among other potential hazards. Be aware that the hypodermics wash downstream to the grassy section north of Copper, so make sure everyone is appropriately outfitted in work boots and gloves.
Kathy Casavant will reimburse you for any expenses you incur for garbage bags, weed-eater cord, etc.
