Mayor’s street crew wants you
Scottsdale’s “Adopt-a-Road” program is a simple way the city’s residents and businesses chip-in to keep the streets looking good. But Mayor W.J. “Jim” Lane hopes that adopting a high-profile mile of roadway in the Scottsdale Airpark will generate even more interest in the program that already cares for more than 250 miles of streets in Scottsdale.
This Saturday, April 21, is the city’s annual "Keep Scottsdale Beautiful 2012" event, when residents and businesses across the city are encouraged to hit the streets to clean up their adopted segments. Past events have typically removed nearly four tons of trash and debris.
Last year, Mayor Lane “adopted” the north Greenway Hayden Loop from Scottsdale Road to Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard. He and volunteers from the North Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce, Stingray Sushi and other community groups will be sprucing up the street to keep it looking good.
“It’s important that we all work together to protect our quality of life, and one way we can do that is by keeping Scottsdale roads clean and safe,” says Mayor Lane. “This city has earned its reputation as a special place, and I encourage every Scottsdale citizen to participate in this citywide effort – it only takes a couple of hours, but it makes a big difference.”
There are nearly 200 adopted street segments in Scottsdale’s program which are maintained by more than 180 groups. But there are 63 other segments that haven’t been adopted.
People, businesses and groups that aren’t yet involved are encouraged to adopt a road, or participate on a one-time basis on Saturday. Learn more here or by calling 480-312-3111.
