Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 26th, from 9:00 AM to noon, for the annual Spring Clean-Up & *NEW* “BottineauNothing” Week! This event is a fantastic opportunity for neighbors to come together, beautify our community, and embrace a more sustainable way of living.
**Bottineau-Nothing Week “Shop the Boulevards”**
This year, we’re adding a unique twist, “Shop the Boulevards”: from April 20th to 26th, residents are encouraged to put out unwanted items (in good condition, of course!) on the boulevards for their neighbors to “shop.” This is a chance to give your gently used items a second life and reduce waste while connecting with your community. Please move any remaining items to your regular trash area before 9am on Saturday April 26 for pick up.
**Trash Pickup**
All trash items should be placed by your regular trash pick up area by 9:00 AM on Saturday, April 26th. Yard waste, hazardous waste, liquids, dirt, mattresses, and box springs will NOT be collected.
**Volunteers Needed!**
Volunteers are crucial to the success of this event. If you’re interested in helping, please meet at Gluek Park at 8:45 AM on April 26th. We’ll be picking up trash and assisting with city trucks. Coffee, pastries, bags, gloves, and pickup sticks will be provided! Sign up here!
We look forward to seeing you there!

The City of Minneapolis has sent residents with a lead water service line a letter. An interactive map of the water service line inventory can be viewed on the City’s website.
This year the city began proactively replacing lead service lines at no cost to the homeowner. This effort will continue until every lead service line in the city is replaced (replacement requires the property owner’s consent).
The City is replacing lead service lines failures on a complaint driven basis. If there are any mechanical failures or leaks to your lead service line you should reach out to 311 and the Water Department will help you replace the line.
What you can do:
* Visit the city’s website to see if your home has a lead service line.
*Request a free lead testing kit – order here
*Reduce your lead exposure
You can find more information on the City website.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the BNA Annual Meeting! We couldn’t have done it without the generous support of Broken Clock Brewery, who provided the space, and HUM Yoga, The California Street Farm, and The Buttered Tin for their amazing raffle prizes.
At the meeting, we elected new board members, learned about Eastside Neighborhood Services programming, and heard valuable updates from Council President Elliot Payne.
