Regrade and clear an eroded bike-path segment, LA River, site 2.
A worker uses hand tools to regrade the rutted bike-path surface and logs the fill material used at an eroded bike-path segment near Ripple St, working behind cones set out to protect passing cyclists and walkers. Read all of it

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Grade and clear the eroded LA River bike-path segment near Ripple St in Los Angeles. Runoff has cut ruts across it, catching wheels and pooling water after rain.
Offer to pay $480. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Needs the land manager's authorization; no licence is asked for; anyone who can use hand tools can do it. Hand tools and walk-behind equipment only; cone the work zone against bike and pedestrian traffic, and never work during a habitat or seasonal closure.
The full safety list for this job:
- Wear a hi-vis vest near traffic.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- the land manager's work authorization and the trail's design tread width
- hand tools: McLeod or rake, pulaski or mattock, loppers, shovel
- erosion-control matting, staples, and locally specified surfacing or step material
- clinometer or level for outslope and grade
- gloves, eye protection and sturdy footwear
- camera + GPS phone
- hand tamper (to compact the fill in the ruts)
- tape measure (to measure the finished tread width)
- watering can or bucket (to water-test a drain outlet)
Steps
- 1. Photograph the trail segment as found and record what is failing (rutting, a blocked drain, a widened tread, an eroding step or fall line).
- 2. Confirm the land manager's authorization for this segment and confirm no habitat or seasonal closure applies today.
- 3. Restore drainage first: clear the existing grade dips and drain outlets so water leaves the tread, because tread repair without drainage fails in one storm.
- 4. Repair the tread to the design width and to a 3 to 5 percent outslope, filling ruts with compacted mineral soil rather than loose duff.
- 5. Set matting, check steps or armoring by hand where the grade needs it, staking to the spec and keying the edges into the tread.
- 6. VERIFY: measure the finished outslope and tread width, and water-test one drain outlet to show water leaves the trail rather than running down it.
- 7. Photograph the finished segment from the before vantage, log the segment length worked, and enter both in the proof record.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the eroded segment
- Regrade/material log
- After photo of the restored surface
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
