Repair the eroded, rutted lake-path trail tread, MacArthur Park, 2230 W 6th St, Los Angeles, CA 90057.
A worker clears a drainage dip with a shovel, then rakes mineral soil into the ruts of the lake path tread at MacArthur Park, leaving an even tread that sheds water. Read all of it
Not funded yet. Settles as earned credit, $400 proposed.
Proof it takes, the deadline, the level

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Repair the eroded, rutted tread on the park's lake-path trail at MacArthur Park, 2230 W 6th St, Los Angeles, CA 90057. Heavy foot traffic and runoff pooled water and undercut the path edge: a real trip hazard for the families, joggers, and vendors who use this walk every day. A drainage dip fixes both the footing and the water.
Offer to pay $400. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Needs the land manager's work authorization, with timing and access agreed with the park operator. Hand tools and small equipment only; never close the whole path, keep one side open to pedestrians at all times.
The full safety list for this job:
- Hazards here: uneven ground, swinging tools, loose rock and trail users passing. Wear gloves, eye protection and boots with grip, and keep one side of the path open. Stop work when a walker or a cyclist is within reach of your tool, and leave a clear way past before you start again. Some experience of this kind of work helps; this job asks for no license or certificate.
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, rutted tread
- Tread-grade check confirming a walkable, even surface after re-grading
- Drainage-dip photo showing water directed off the path rather than pooling
- After photo of the compacted, armored tread + GPS
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
