Dear neighbor, the county government could send out employees every week to clean our roads but the cost would be staggering and your taxes would go up considerably. Instead the Transportation Department sponsors a program to help neighbors and associations do a little work and take pride in their streets. You have probably seen the blue signs for Adopted Roads and the bags of trash waiting to be picked up.
This is done by your neighbors, taking pride in their community, and taking responsibility for a portion of a road in Lee County. The Lehigh Clean Sweep group believes that YOU WANT YOUR OWN ROAD TO LOOK NICE JUST AS EVERYONE WANTS TO BE PROUD OF THEIR COMMUNITY.
It only takes a few of hours on Saturday every other month to maintain your road by picking up litter. We want to help you organize a party of neighbors to use the tools that the Lee DOT provides if you would meet with a few people and form a crew to deal with your own road. Take a look at your own street or consider joining another crew to ADOPT A ROAD.
WE WILL PROVIDE SOFTDRINKS TSHIRT AND WATER
It can be an opportunity to meet neighbors and accomplish this together for the fun of it! To learn how, contact John Miller and the Lehigh Clean Sweep at 986-0421.
