Graffiti Clean Up in West Gloucester and Dogtown

Joey-

Below is a blurb describing some graffiti removal work around Gloucester yesterday.

I wonder if your GMG readers might help us identify other areas around Gloucester for future clean-ups.

The Essex County Anti Graffiti unit was in town this Wednesday morning to clean up the Sawyer Library and sites in West Gloucester and at the Cherry Street entrance to Dogtown.

The clean up team, led by Sergeant Christopher Goudreault, uses a combination of high pressure water and baking soda to remove paint from various surface. 

Here is a before and after view of a utility building along Concord Street near the new Exit 13 entrance to Greenbelt’s Tompson Street Reservation.

Below are before and after photos from the Bray Street entrance to Tompson Reservation and the entrance to Dogtown.

Thanks to Mary Devaney of Rockport’s Anti-graffiti task force and to the Gloucester Department of Public Works and Gloucester Police Department and Sawyer Library Director Fred Cowan for coordinating this work.
