Working Throughout the City

Work crews are working throughout the entire city, neighborhood by neighborhood. City work crews have a 50 point checklist to follow that includes checking all catch basins which will be inspected and cleared of debris, sand, and water. All leaning or damaged street signs will be straightened or replaced. All trees with limbs obstructing roadways, sidewalks, signage, or street lights will be trimmed.

We're excited to share with you the real tangible results of this unique program! We're betting you want to know how we're doing, where we've been, and where we're heading next. We invite you to use our interactive dashboard to track our results both at a local neighborhood level and city-wide level.
