The Council of Neighborhoods had seven people participating in the November 12, 2011, Adopt A Trail  -Weeding the Interurban event.

Patty Hale: Ridgecrest, Keenan Stevens and Judy Allen: Innis Arden, Arthur Peach, Chair of C of N, Briarcrest, Greg Logan: Highland Terrace, Patty Dooley, secretary of C of N, Ballinger and her 9 year old grandson, Kenneth Dooley.

Organizer Judy Allen said, "City of Shoreline staff has done a great job of maintaining the landscaping between the Shoreline Signature bridges this year so our collection of weeds is dramatically diminished. In four 2011 weeding sessions this Fall we had 17 people participating, working 27 hours of labor and producing just 8 bags of garbage and weeds."

Keenan and Arthur scraped up all the built-up moss on the bridge surfaces, swept it clean and sprayed the affected areas with vinegar and water. Keenan, a Sophomore at Shorewood High School is a member of the National Honor Society and found our volunteer schedule on the City website.

Please join us in the early spring of 2012 as we continue to help make the City of Shoreline the best place to live.
