Team Effort to Address Sanitation and Maintenance Needs of the District
February 2021
Central Avenue is a busy urban commercial corridor with a large amount of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Consequently, the busy nature of our main street community produces demanding sanitation needs. It takes a team effort to keep our district clean starting with 1) merchants sweeping their adjacent sidewalks regularly, 2) the City’s mechanical streetsweeper cleaning both sides of the roadway 6 days a week, and 3) the City’s litter patrol program maintaining public spaces clean (i.e. tree beds, litter receptacles, sidewalks, sewer catch basins, etc.). To further supplement these efforts, the Central Avenue SID program uses its limited resources to service other sanitation related needs of the district. CASID has hired Commercial District Services to service the district ten days (10) a month for landscaping, hand-bill removal, curb painting, cleaning public touch surfaces, and other occasional maintenance needs of the district.
