Hi Everyone,

For our cleanup on March 5th (9-11am) we can just tell everyone the dead end of Canal Street East. If they need a # for GPS they can use 281.

The Shelton Clean-up Project team agreed to partner on this one as well. The fencing makes it challenging to use the Boys and girls club parking lot.

Warm Regards,
Cheryl

How are people going to turn around? I am picturing cars stacking up with parents dropping off kids. There is a spot for maybe one or two cars to pull in at the very end, but if there are cars in there, I don’t know how you turn around or where people are parking. Maybe there should be a person there whose job it is to make sure that spot is only for turning around?

 

“320 Canal Street East” works in Google Maps for an address.  I’ve never heard of anyone calling it  “Canal Street East”, though, so that could be a point of confusion.   I usually tell people it’s the north end of Canal Street (“300 Canal Street” also works).  Here’s a trail map of the canal & locks http://www.sheltonconservation.org/recreation/maps/Canal%20and%20Locks.pdf

How about they drop them off at the Bridge or at the parking lot north of the Bridge across from New England Stair? 

 Anyways, the clean up went well yesterday, I'm sure Cheryl post it soon.

Another option might be to meet at the Farmers Market and shuttle people down the street. The Housatonic River Cleanup shuttles people by boat up and down the river. Or pick up that entire street all the way down to the end. It’s half a mile from the Farmers Market to the end of Canal Street.

I went down there on Sat. and I will be happy to direct people to turn around/ park at the first lot there before you get to the dead end.  

The constructions crews weren't working on sat so that should give us space.

Looks like the weather is going to be crappy this Saturday.  Should we postpone the clean up?

The date is April 5th which is this Sat. Gil is correct; Weather is not looking hospitable (laughs). I will watch the weather and if it still looks like it will be crappy weather by end of day Thursday, we can reschedule for that site. Probably mid May.

If we cancel the anti-litter committee can jump in with the Shelton Cleanup project on one of the other sites that are scheduled. Unfortunately, I will be away and May 3rd is the Housatonic River cleanup.

There is a Trails Committee meeting tonight and they will be setting up their regular work parties, which will be April 12 and 26 at  9:00 am. If they go ahead with the proposed plan of creating the Curtis Brook Connector below Pine Lake, that will include picking up an endless pit of litter and dumping, and Trails does try to get some of the SHS students. All their regular work parties are the second and fourth Saturday of each month at 9:00 am winter and 8:30 am summer. I think it’s a good idea to avoid scheduling cleanups during those times because then we are competing with each other for SHS students. If they go ahead with the Curtis Brook Connector plan, one option (if the cleanup this Saturday is canceled) might be to schedule a cleanup immediately after the trails work party so that students attending the trails work party can stay and attend the litter cleanup (students in April are often looking to maximize the number of hours they can get, since they need 10 hours by May 1 and have busy schedules).
