Keep Alachua County Beautiful has an Adopt A Road Program
“We should be proud of our community’s roadways, and we want to keep them neat and clean. Groups can adopt a one-mile section of roadway and are then responsible for a minimum of one cleanup every three months. All of the supplies you will need to complete your group’s cleanups will be provided by KACB. Your group’s name will be featured prominently at the beginning and end of the section of the road you adopt“
I’ll fill out the Adoption papers soon and get back to you here with relevant information
This could be fun, as well as useful!
I contacted the executive director of Keep Alachua County Beautiful, Carlos Gonzalez, on Monday (8/18). He said he’d send me a list of candidate roads we could adopt. It will be a 2-year commitment, 4 times a year. We need to put up $100 for the two signs that bracket “our road.” No response as of Friday afternoon (8/22). I’ll update with the list of roads when I get it.
I sent out an email today with 4 candidate roads to adopt, with maps.
Here they are.
SW 61st St. From SW 20th Ave to SW 8th Ave.
This one is pretty close to where I live. It goes through what I think is a lower income area, which might be good from a diversity/inclusion perspective.
