Group set to sweep area along Highland Avenue

Carrollton Main Street Program is holding its fall sweep from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 3, as part of Kentucky Adopt-a-Highway cleanup.

Project coordinator Alice Richter said the area stretchs on Highland Avenue (U.S. 42) from Cartmell Elementary School to the Prestonville bridge.

Volunteers are encouraged to meet at the Cartmell parking lot to pick up their trash bags and gloves, Richter said. For more information, call Richter at (502) 732-0779.

“The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet appreciates the efforts of our Adopt-a-Highway volunteers, who help keep our highways and communities beautiful and litter-free,” Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock said.

The Adopt-a-Highway program promotes public environmental awareness and supports tourism.

The program also creates a partnership between citizens, community and government, and establishes a sense of pride in the Bluegrass State.

Other Adopt-a-Highway groups in Carroll County are: Friends of Butler, Dow Corning, Kentucky Utilities and the Ira Louden family.
