Councilmembers embrace Cleanup NYC Initiative
Funding put toward sweeping litter off sidewalks
Clean, litter-free sidewalks provide a boost to the city’s economy, according to two Brooklyn City Council members, who recently announced the start of new cleanup projects in their districts.
Councilmembers Mark Treyger and David Greenfield both insisted that their cleanup efforts are more than just cosmetic.
“This is a win-win for both residents and small businesses, which rely on clean and attractive commercial corridors that are enticing for potential customers,” Treyger said when he announced a new cleanup project under the Cleanup NYC Initiative on Oct. 26.
