Sweep and wash the public sidewalk at Vermont Ave and 8th St

The public sidewalk on this high-traffic commercial corridor accumulates grime, litter residue, and spill film continuously; a broom-and-water clean is the safe, entry-level, recurring infrastructure care the block needs — the same care that keeps a street worth walking. Standard: Community-coordination standard; SDG 11.7 public space. Proof: before/after photo pairs of each panel cleaned + GPS Reference method for the civic_safety standard (Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged), ~30-60 min): 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard. 2. Photograph each hazard. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical). 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility). 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign. Equipment: GPS phone, camera, hi-vis vest, severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical) Done when: Before photo of each dirty/mossy panel; After photo from matching vantage showing the cleared surface; Note of the cleaning method used (broom/water, no cutting or chemical stripping)

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.

Proof

before/after photo pairs of each panel cleaned + GPS

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

• Before photo of each dirty/mossy panel
• After photo from matching vantage showing the cleared surface
• Note of the cleaning method used (broom/water, no cutting or chemical stripping)

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Civic Safety Reporting. Civic safety is the craft of noticing for your neighbors: the burned-out light over a dark corner, the sidewalk lip waiting to trip someone, the overgrown hedge hiding a crosswalk. This standard is documentation and coordination only, no repairs: see the hazard clearly, grade how serious it is, record it with a photo and a place, and route it to the people with the authority to fix it. Mastery looks like a neighborhood where problems are found while they are still small. This packet is one clear-eyed report, and one clear report is how every fix begins.
