You might have thought you saw a convict work crew cleaning under the Highway 24 freeway overpasses on Dec. 6, but no, it was the Lafayette Rotary Club hard at work making the city a bit tidier. The team of Matt Pease, Mike Henn, Terry Ring, Josiah Coy, Beverlee Hajek, David Abrahams, Steve Falk, Maurice Williams, Tom Schnerr with his son Cooper, as well as five students from Acalanes High School, spruced up the areas at Brown Avenue, First Avenue and Oak Hill Road. The Rotarians collected over 60 bags of weeds, debris and litter at these areas that connect north and south Lafayette. The Oak Hill Road area is a major entry point from Highway 24 into Lafayette and that area is now much neater and better represents our city. The City of Lafayette staff supplied garbage bags and picked up the filled bags. The Lafayette Rotary Club will revisit these areas several times a year to help maintain the area.
