Mayor Bill de Blasio is unveiling a new program to keep the city’s streets cleaner.

The program will step up anti-graffiti efforts, increase power-washing of sidewalks in busy commercial areas such as Boro Park’s Church Avenue, and bolster anti-litter efforts along the city’s highways and on ramps.

“New Yorkers want to see clean streets, sidewalks and public spaces,” de Blasio said, “and they deserve no less.”
