Cleanup the Pittsburg Stairs

The Pittsburg Stairs - that ‘s the little cement trail that runs from Eighth and Pittsburg, north to Liberty Park and the East Central Pool - is in desperate need of some cleanup. It’s covered in rather nasty graffiti and trash, beer cans, pop bottles and cigarette packs are threwn all over the place.
One problem: the trail is not on Parks Department land but belongs to the City of Spokane Street Department, which has no money for cleanup and maintenance.
A neighbor contacted the blog and wants to put on a cleanup project - please e-mail the blog if you are interested in pitching in a few hours on a weekend morning. The Parks Department has promised to haul away the trash. Read the rest of the stroy in Thursday’s Voice section.
