Assemblyman Colton (D – Gravesend, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, Dyker Heights) and 47^th Assembly District Leader Nancy Tong, 47^th Assembly District Leader Charles Ragusa together with the United Progressive Democratic Club president Nino Magali had sponsored another of their successful neighborhood clean ups on Saturday May 18, 2019.

“A team of over 100 cheery high school volunteers came out to sweep sidewalks and catch basins in Bensonhurst. Debris was cleaned along 86 Street, Bay Parkway, and Kings Highway. The importance of clean ups is of keeping our streets clean and at the same time bring out a spirit in others to do the same,” said Colton.

“For number of years we have mobilized teams of volunteers to beautify our streets. By organizing these clean ups we are showing local businesses and the community the need of keep our public space clean, because cleaner streets means a better quality of life for all. Special thank you to all the volunteers and organizers,” Colton added.
