D.4.2 Green Space Maintenance
Action
Improve green space maintenance.
Why
Green spaces such as trees, flowers, planter boxes, traffic islands, vacant lots, parks, alleys, riverfront, grass, gateways, etc. provide vibrancy and life to your district. However, if they are overgrown or improperly maintained they give a negative impression of disinvestment.
How
Tactics to help improve sidewalk maintenance:
- There is a reliable, designated maintenance provider for each green space for year-round maintenance
- If you are using volunteer groups, ensure that the volunteer group knows what is expected of them by clearly communicating to them what is needed
