Public Spaces and Beautification Committee
About The Committee
The Public Spaces and Beautification Committee of the Deanwood Citizens Association is dedicated to enhancing the beauty and livability of our neighborhood. With a commitment to fostering community pride and improving quality of life, our committee focuses on various aspects of maintenance and beautification throughout Deanwood. From organizing Clean up and Green up activities to coordinating the annual Deanwood Beautification Day, we actively engage residents and stakeholders in initiatives that promote a cleaner, greener, and more attractive environment. Additionally, we play a pivotal role in addressing 311 requests for concerns regarding illegal dumping, missed trash pickups, grass cutting, tree trimming, and other issues impacting the cleanliness and aesthetics of our community.
