Clean Ambassadors. It’s a beautiful thing.
Our Clean Team Members log about 1900 hours a week to keep our streets clean, collecting an average of 3,200 pounds of trash per week. They patrol Downtown each day to remove litter, cigarette butts and gum to keep downtown sidewalks and public spaces neat and attractive. But that’s just the start. They also straighten fixtures like news boxes and trash cans. And they’re the Number One tool against graffiti -- removing graffiti, decals, flyers, paint, posters and stickers from public spaces. They even go to work damp wiping surfaces like trash cans and benches to remove dust and grime.
Get the weeds out! And wash up!
Weed abatement is also part of the Clean Team’s work, and they took care of nearly 1400 block faces in just their first six months on the job.
A regular schedule of power washing enhances the cleanliness of downtown sidewalks.
Plus special projects for the “Wow” effect.
A dedicated focus is placed on finding special projects that add extra value to downtown. Some of the plans include painting street fixtures, benches and the like; special plantings; powerwashing and repair of waste cans.
