Keep the Yreka Creek Greenway path clear each month (2026-07-19)

The Yreka Creek Greenway is the town's walking spine and its best public space, and blackberry, storm limbs, glass, and litter close sections of it every season. Siskiyou County's small crews can't walk it monthly — a steady maintenance round keeps the whole path open for the seniors and school kids who use it daily. Standard: City greenway maintenance standards + Safe Routes practice; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities. Proof: Before/after photos of maintained sections Method (City greenway maintenance standards + Safe Routes practice; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.): 1. Walk the assigned greenway length and photograph blocked or littered sections. 2. Cut encroaching blackberry and limbs back to full path width with hand pruners and loppers. 3. Sweep glass and collect litter into bags. 4. Report surface damage, flooding, or broken fixtures with photos to the city. 5. Photograph 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.

Before/after photos of maintained sections

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

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.
