Help Tidy Reseda Blvd. on Saturday

Volunteers are wanted for an effort to spruce up Reseda Boulevard on Saturday in time for the Northridge Village Art Show.

Every three months or so, a cleanup crew heads out  to trim overgrown vegetation and remove litter from the gutters between Parthenia and Nordhoff streets.

Andrea Alvarado of the Chatsworth Southeast Neighborhood Council's Sparkle Campaign said about 40 people turned out last time, but the more the better.

"It's a big effort we really want to get it done as fast as possible an let them go and have a wonderful day," she said.

Regular volunteers include residents of a nearby apartment building for artists and members of the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission.

The Northridge Village Art Show is being held on May 18 from 6-9 p.m. This year, artists were tasked with creating works based on interpretations of old historic Northridge photos.

The cleanup is being held on April 27 from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Meetup is at the corner of Reseda and Rayen Street.
