WHAT IS THE ADOPTION OF PUBLIC AREAS PROGRAM?
The Adoption of Public Areas (Adopt-A-Median) program gives
businesses, non-profit organizations, families and individuals a
way to contribute to the beautification and upkeep of public
areas. At the same time, it provides valuable name recognition
for the adopter: thousands of drivers see your adoption sign every
day.
WHICH PUBLIC AREAS?
City parks, landscaped medians, landscaped parkways and other
areas are part of the adoption program. Most medians are located
on: Roadrunner Parkway, Telshor Boulevard, Picacho Avenue, Valley
Drive, Motel Boulevard, Main Street, and Lohman Avenue.
WHAT IS THE ADOPTER’S RESPONSIBILITY?
Generally, the adopter agrees to keep the area free of weeds and
litter, with work done on a bi-weekly basis, or as needed. The
program is self-governing, meaning the adopter is responsible for
keeping their promise without supervision from KLCB.
Interested parties may also choose to landscape a bare median or
parkway at their own expense, and would work with the City's
landscape designer to develop a landscape plan. The party may
then adopt the completed median.
WHAT IS THE CITY’S RESPONSIBILITY?
Water usage, repairs due to vandalism and all additional
maintenance are the responsibility of the City’s Parks Operations
and Maintenance office. The City provides two signs, designating
the adopter’s name, which are placed appropriately within the
area.
WHO MAY PARTICIPATE?
Adoption of Public Areas is open to businesses, non-profit
organizations, families and individuals. Student and youth groups
are not eligible to participate in the adoption program at this
time. There are no fees required to adopt a public area. However,
the promise to maintain a public area by keeping it weed and
litter-free is a big one. Before agreeing to participate in this
program, please be sure you are able to keep your commitment! |
