Keep the Willits rail-trail path clear and walkable each month (2026-07-20)

The rail-with-trail path through Willits is the town's one flat, car-free walking spine, used by school kids and seniors alike, and it disappears under blackberry runners, glass, and storm debris without steady care. A monthly maintenance walk keeps the whole length safe and open. Standard: City trail maintenance standards + Safe Routes to School practice; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities. Proof: Before/after photos of maintained sections Method (City trail maintenance standards + Safe Routes to School practice; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.): 1. Walk the full assigned trail length and photograph blocked, overgrown, or littered sections. 2. Cut back encroaching blackberry and limbs to full path width with hand pruners and loppers. 3. Sweep glass and pick litter into bags. 4. Report any broken lights, damaged surface, or drainage failures with photos to the city. 5. Photograph the cleared sections and log the length maintained. Done when: Before/after photos of maintained sections

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
