Spring Cleaning on Myrtle

We’re sprucing up the avenue with a few new additions and a little spring cleaning. Next time you’re out, check out our work.

On the ground:
The Doe Fund (who you usually see working to keep Myrtle litter and graffiti free) came with their paint brushes - from street lights to fire hydrants- our street furniture got a new coat of paint to keep Myrtle looking fresh.

Five of the newly designed bike racks were installed on the avenue. You can find them between Vanderbilt and Clinton, Hall and Washington and at Myrtle and Classon. Next time you are locking up, try one out! Also, you can help us to free up some additional bicycle parking by taking your rusty, scrappy and abandoned bikes home!

Up above:
New, larger street signs were installed by DOT on Myrtle Avenue and all of its intersecting streets, and this week a crew came back to straighten and perfect their placement. What do you think of Myrtle's new signage?

The BID hired Urban Arborists to climb our trees to prune away deadwood, correct safety issues, remove plastic bags, and generally clean up the appearance of Myrtle's street trees. Help us keep our street trees healthy and looking good by keeping your garbage and cigarette butts out of the tree beds! We have some mulching and annual tree pit and soil care happening in a few weeks, so things will be looking even better very soon.
