Help Keep Our Sidewalks Beautiful: Please Donate |
Center City is one of the cleanest
neighborhoods in the City, and it’s no accident, nor is it free. CCRA
has a contract with the Center City District to clean local sidewalks
after weekly trash collection. This effort is not covered by your
membership, which is where you come in. You are encouraged to donate
your fair share to CCRA’s Clean, Safe & Green program, and you can
do so here. |

According
to the US Forest Service, trees properly placed around buildings can
reduce air conditioning needs by 30 percent and can save 20 to 50
percent in energy used for heating. Apply for a free street tree from
the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. |

doesn’t love SEPTA’s Key card? OK, you can now all please put down your
hands. Yes, it’s had its challenges, which SEPTA does not deny. To that
end, SEPTA is now conducting an industry-wide review of fare payment
systems and has announced a Request for Information. It’s complicated,
and we wish them well. |
