Due to the expected rain on Saturday, the freeway ramp cleanup has been rescheduled for Saturday, November 6.

I believe there are six freeway ramps on the west side.  I'm not sure if the group will try to clean all of them on Saturday.

The rain date for this event is Saturday, November 6.

Why?Town

While cleaning up anything is a great idea, some questions come to mind:

Since West Side Bowl is a good mile up hill from that ramp and walking back up any hill is a pain in the butt after finishing a project, is WRTA going to offer free rides at least when the job is done? It's not like they can't afford to do that.

If no ride is offered, parking somewhere on the other side of 680 and crossing the bridge would be an easier walk. Heck, cleaning up what's on the bridge while walking up should be fairly easy and add a nice touch to the project. "Coasting" back down over the bridge afterwards would also be easier.

And I'm not trying to stop any improvements but is it legal to do anything on an interstate ramp? IIRC there's a sign that says "Pedestrians and Bicycles Prohibited"
