Residents mobilize to clean up streets

With crime rates down, Boyle Heights residents are focusing on how their neighborhood looks. Community members have taken up the task of rescuing neighborhood sidewalks from common blights like abandoned couches, mattresses and old televisions. Volunteers recently organized a cleanup - the third so far this year. “For me, it’s uncomfortable to see trash in every corner. That means that people don’t really care about where they live." Find out more about the issue and what the neighborhood is doing about it, on Boyle Heights Beat.
