A Clear Success for Walla Walla.....

The Exit Homelessness Community Beautification Project has been a clear success for Walla Walla -- and its participants. The Beautification Team has done an excellent job in keeping many of our city’s streets, parks and trails free of litter, as well as giving homeless people a way to contribute to the community and to receive deserved recognition for it.

The project currently has the following active routes.

• Main Street from Palouse to 5th, including Heritage Park and parking lot, and the city parking lot behind Land Title

• Alder Street from Carnegie Center to Fifth, including the library parking lots, the parking lot behind Macy’s, and Volunteer Park

• Second Street from Oak to Birch, including the city parking lot behind Tallman’s and the city parking lot at Birch, Third and Poplar

• First Street from Main to Alder, and Colville Street from Alder to Sumach, including the city parking lot at Sumach, Colville and Spokane

• Rees Avenue from Jefferson to Sumach, including Memorial Park, the Borleske parking lot, and the recreation trail along Hwy 12 through the underpass

• The City Hall parking lot, the 5th and Sumach parking lot, and the Corps of Engineers parking lot, as well as adjoining streets

• The recreation trail on the north side of Hwy12 from Rees west to Ninth, including Moore along the city corporation yard and police station

• Isaacs Avenue from Main to the Fairgrounds
