Bensonhurst Alliance to give neighborhood a clean sweep
Volunteers sought for Community Day of Action
A large swath of Bensonhurst will be getting a spring cleaning as a group of volunteers armed with brooms and shovels descends onto Bath Avenue to sweep away litter and wipe away graffiti.
A major cleanup campaign, called the Community Day of Action, has been set for Sunday, May 21. It is the first major project undertaken by the Bensonhurst Alliance, a nonprofit group founded by Community Board 11 Chairman Bill Guarinello and District Manager Marnee Elias-Pavia.
The cleanup will take place along a half-mile stretch of Bath Avenue, from 15th Avenue to Bay Parkway. The alliance is asking volunteers to meet outside the 62nd Precinct station house at 1925 Bath Ave. at 11 a.m. that day.
