EL PASO, Texas (KTSM<\/a>) — The City of El Paso’s\u00a0Adopt-A-Street\u00a0pilot program has completed its first phase\u00a0and is now open to the public, inviting community groups, businesses,\u00a0and individuals to select\u00a0a\u00a0street\u00a0segment\u00a0and organize cleanups.<\/p>\n

Through the program, participants sign\u00a0a\u00a0two-year volunteer\u00a0agreement to maintain\u00a0a\u00a0one-mile segment of minor\u00a0arterials or collector roadway by completing\u00a0at least four cleanups per year, the City said.<\/p>\n

There is no fee to\u00a0adopt\u00a0a\u00a0street\u00a0segment.\u00a0As recognition for these efforts, the City will install signs\u00a0along\u00a0adopted segments to\u00a0acknowledge participants\u00a0and their commitment to the community.<\/p>\n

“Litter doesn’t just\u00a0affect how our\u00a0streets look, it\u00a0affects how our community feels,” said Randy Garcia, director of\u00a0Streets\u00a0and Maintenance. “Adopt-A-Street\u00a0gives residents\u00a0and organizations\u00a0a\u00a0simple, hands-on way to take ownership of\u00a0a\u00a0corridor they care\u00a0about\u00a0and make\u00a0a\u00a0visible difference, cleanup by cleanup.”<\/p>\n

The pilot program is modeled\u00a0after successful efforts in comparable cities\u00a0and supports the City’s focus on improving the “visual impression” of key gateways, corridors,\u00a0and minor\u00a0arterial roadways, the City said.<\/p>\n

It\u00a0also reinforces\u00a0a\u00a0shared responsibility between the City\u00a0and the community to maintain\u00a0and enhance public spaces, the City added.<\/p>\n

Program guidelines, the volunteer\u00a0agreement,\u00a0and\u00a0an interactive map of\u00a0available\u00a0street\u00a0segments\u00a0are\u00a0available online. Residents can view\u00a0available\u00a0streets,\u00a0apply,\u00a0and report cleanups\u00a0at:\u00a0ElPasoTexas.gov\/Adopt-A-Street<\/a>.<\/p>\n
