PEARL DISTRICT, LET’S GET CLEAN!

NWCC Is Making It Happen — Curb-to-Curb Street Cleaning Is Coming!

Pearl District, this is what happens when we speak up, stay persistent, and work together!

For the past few years, NWCC has been working directly with PBOT’s street cleaning leadership to push for a deeper clean of our neighborhood. Despite ongoing budget challenges, we’ve kept the conversation going, advocated for the Pearl, and worked to get this on the schedule.
