Now the pile of brush has been removed.
At a “Weed Pullin’ party on Nov 26, 2013 at the intersection of the proposed Red Electric Trail and SW Capital Highway, volunteers cut weeds and blackberries and trimmed trees and created a large pile of brush. The city recently removed this large pile of brush.
