Brooklyn kids clean up East Flatbush streets
BY VICTOR PORCELLI
Like many streets around the city, Avenue D in Brooklyn has litter: empty bottles, cigarette butts and plastic bags often collect on the greenery lining the sidewalk.
But on August 5, the street was also lined with children from Park Slope’s MS 88 carrying rakes, brooms and garbage bags as part of an effort by the afterschool program LEAP and local community activist Hercules Reid to clean up the street.
