Volunteer: Pineapple Plaza by Bay Ridge Ave Clean Up

With Bay Parkway set to move into a repair and reconstruction phase, we set out eyes on the other side of the greenway... Bay Ridge Ave right under Shore Road. We will host a SAPO street event with Street Lab and bring the wonders of a pop-up plaza and Open Streets for a day. We'll start with a clean up of the street, pier, and part of the greenway and after have the entire street to ourselves to kick back and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Free bicycle repair, cafe, children's programming as always.
