How would you spend $50,000? That's the question the Wedgwood Community Council is asking community members.

In October, CleanScapes announced a winner for its Neighborhood Waste Reduction Rewards program

During the year long competition, the Tuesday North collection area, which includes part of View Ridge, decreased its waste by 4.7% - 400 tons.

Because of the effort by this service area, CleanScapes has announced plans to donate up to $50,000 for a project of choice.

Anyone in the city can submit their ideas for how the money should be used within the Tuesday Collection service area.

The deadline for proposals is Jan. 31st.

Below are several projects CleanScapes finished in other neighborhoods:

Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn says he is deploying more crews to fix the city's ever-deepening pothole problem.

Last week’s winter storm left some streets looking like a minefield of craters. But the mayor is promising to get the city’s roads back in shape as fast as possible.

"We're just starting, so the public should call them in when they see them," said McGinn. And the cities says it will respond.

“We are going to increase our forces from our standard three crews to four crews in the north end of the city, (and) two in the south end,” said Seattle Department of Transportation spokesman Steve Pratt.

The mayor added Mother Nature alone isn’t to blame for the wrecked roads.

“The number of potholes we're seeing and the condition of our streets is a reflection of the fact that declining revenues and statewide initiatives that have taken away funding sources for us. (It) means we don't have the resources we need to do the job," he said.

McGinn wants the state to help fill the revenue gap to help cities repave damaged streets.
