Maintain the town end of the Bizz Johnson Trail at Susanville (2026-07-19)

The Bizz Johnson Rail Trail starts at Susanville's historic depot and is the town's proudest outdoor asset, but its first miles take the heaviest use and show it: washouts, encroaching brush, glass, and litter at the access points. Monthly hand maintenance of the town end keeps the trailhead worth the name. Standard: BLM/city rail-trail maintenance standards; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities. Proof: Before/after photos of maintained sections Method (BLM/city rail-trail maintenance standards; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.): 1. Walk the assigned first stretch from the depot trailhead and photograph problem spots. 2. Clear fallen branches, rake washed gravel back into ruts, and re-open drainage dips with hand tools. 3. Cut brush back to full trail width with pruners and loppers. 4. Collect litter and glass at the trailhead and access points. 5. Photograph the restored sections and log the distance maintained. Done when: Before/after photos of maintained sections

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.
