The Eight Mile Boulevard Association, the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce, the Woodward Avenue Action Association along with the Motor City Makeover are partnering for the third straight year to create an innovative, regional, one day event entitled Clean the D. The goal of Clean the D is to improve the quality of life and landscape of metro-Detroit in the communities bordering Eight Mile and Woodward Avenue. Last year more than 300 volunteers tackled 15 projects which resulted in over one ton of trash picked up from area streets, graffiti removed and flower beds planted.

The Woodward Avenue community projects for this year include:

• Flower bed planting

• Graffiti removal

• Art installation project in several vacant properties

• Mural painting

• Litter pick up

• Landscape maintenance

This year core communities the WA3 will be working with are Detroit, Highland Park, Royal Oak and Pontiac.
