Rain, sleet or snow—and even today’s Nor’easter—won’t stop our Clean Team from keeping Lincoln Square clean and litter free. Sweeping up litter from our streets and sidewalks is part of the team’s job, but picking up after your dog is not! Please be considerate and clean up after your pets when you are strolling with them through Lincoln Square. It's the law!
