Cleanup Program Progressing: A cleanup program designed to improve Huntington Beach’s blighted Oakview neighborhood has been going “surprisingly well” and may lead to the hiring of more young people from the neighborhood, a city official said. The program, “Operation Logos,” was started three months ago and has 11 young residents from the neighborhood collecting trash and performing other maintenance services, said Danielle Madison, a community development official. “It has been going surprisingly well and it’s helping to better the pride of one’s neighborhood,” she said. The Oakview neighborhood is bordered by Nichols Street, Beach Boulevard and Slater and Warner avenues. The neighborhood consists mostly of poor Latino and Asian residents, Madison said.
