Adopt a Street

City Council member Greig Smith and the Bureau of Street Services are establishing a government community partnership which allows neighborhood groups, businesses, and residents to participate in a street cleaning and beautification pilot project.

This pilot program is available to volunteers who want to participate by providing labor, donating materials, and/or sponsoring the Bureau of Street Services to perform the additional clean up work.

This program can be accomplished through an agreement with the city to keep the sidewalks and landscaped areas clean. To help fulfill this obligation, the Department of Public Works will provide brooms, rakes, shovels, trash bags, gloves, safety vests and trash pick-up.

What can you do?
  • Pick up litter
  • Remove weeds
  • Rake leaves
  • Remove graffiti
  • Report any street hazards
  • Irrigate landscaped areas
