PACOIMA : Cleanup Targets Business District
Los Angeles police and community volunteers will conduct “Operation Clean Sweep” in Pacoima’s main commercial district Saturday.
Beginning at 10 a.m., police officers, city employees and volunteers will begin clearing trash and other debris from Van Nuys Boulevard in an area stretching several blocks north and south of San Fernando Road, Police Capt. Gabe Ornelas said.
“It is the central business district for the area and we are really trying to enhance it,” Ornelas said.
Ornelas said members of the public are invited to take part, and lunch will be served to the workers. The police sponsored a similar cleanup operation in the area in June with positive results, he said, and Saturday’s outing is an effort to keep the area clean and attractive.
