Adopt-A-Path Program
The City’s Adopt-A-Path program provides community members the opportunity to help keep our shared-use paths beautiful by picking up litter and trimming vegetation. Keeping our shared use paths clean and safe is largely done by the city’s Parks and Recreation and Public Works Departments, but the assistance of businesses, families, and community groups through this program is key.
A modest commitment to patrolling for litter and trimming of vegetation along the path’s edges means that hundreds of cyclists, runners, skaters, and walkers enjoy a safer, more pleasant experience as they travel the city’s shared-use paths.
What is required?
- Commit to 2 years of volunteer service
- Complete a path inspection and clean-up 3 times each year
- Review safety information and sign a volunteer waiver
What does Public Works provide?
- Reflective vests and work gloves
- Tools for litter pickup and vegetation control
- Trash bags
How do I sign-up?
You can apply for adoption on behalf of yourself and/or your business, family or organization. After you complete your second path cleanup, the City will post a sign adjacent to your segment of the path recognizing that you have adopted that segment.
To learn more about the program and to sign-up, please fill out the online application form. After we’ve approved your application, you’ll need to sign the Adopt-A-Path Agreement and volunteer waiver.
