]]>Many owners moved their cars, though I imagine more out of fear that they would be towed. Whatever the reason, this allowed a street cleaner to get to the curb on those streets. I must say, it's amazing how well the street cleaner can do when it can reach the curb.
For those of you out there who move your cars to make way for the street sweeper, thank you! Your efforts make a huge difference!

Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. until 2, neighbors will be all over Beacon Hill sweeping up. You can get equipment at one of four locations:
Myrtle Street Playground
Donahue Building, Suffolk University, on Temple Street
Store 24 on Cambridge Street
Firehouse on Mt. Vernon Street
Also, all cars on the low blocks of north slope streets---Irving (Cambridge to Phillips), Garden (Cambridge to Phillips), Anderson (Cambridge to Phillips), and Phillips (Irving to Anderson)---will need to be moved on Saturday morning to make way for the street sweeper, which is making a special appearance on Beacon Hill. This was especially effective last year.
This is a great opportunity to invite out your neighbors and work with them to clean your block.
If you have an questions, don't hesitate to contact the Beacon Hill Civic Association office. 617-227-1922.
If you live in another neighborhood of Boston besides Beacon Hill, there are Boston Shines community efforts happening all over the city on Saturday. Visit the following web site for more information:

Ms. Murray is planning a three-meeting planning process. During this first meeting, she opened the discussion to the audience to discuss what is liked and not liked about the park.
Universal consensus from the group:
1-- Add more green. Round out the rough edges on the outside of the park
2-- Add more green to the flat brick in the middle of the park to break it up more, and soften the noise from the park.
The next meeting will be in about a month, where potential designs will be presented.
Those with ideas about the park should contact Ms. Murray. She left her business card:
