ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY UPDATE

By Ken Seydel and Bill Korbholz

The Friends of Edgewood adopted the section of I-280 adjacent to Edgewood in December 1998 and have been beautifying it every month or two ever since. Since 1999, over 800 bags of trash have been removed. Prior to 1998, Ken Seydel had been tending to the site all by himself for about 8 years.

A total of 8 volunteers helped us clean our section of I-280 adjacent to Edgewood during April, May, and June, 2006.

With the heavy rains this spring, the ground has been soft and the grass tall (until CalTrans mowed it along with the trash). We filled 21 bags of assorted garbage in a total of 8 hours. Aside from the usual hubcaps and car parts, we pocketed $3.01!

Thanks to our freeway warriors who joined us during this period: Carolyn Dorsch, Bill & Kathy Korbholz, Jane Kos, Margaret Marshall, Susan Russell, Ken Seydel, and Michael Yantos.

If you have an interest in joining our great group, contact Ken Seydel at kbseydel@gmail.com. We will see that you are safety trained and equipped with your very own Picker, hard hat, goggles, gloves, and bright orange vest.
