San Bernardino City Council
San Bernardino, CA
Dear Mayor Minor & Members of the Common Council:
The Baseline Area Business Association proposes that the city adopt a new
program to keep our public streets cleaner. During the last year BABA has
unofficially adopted our street of Baseline from the "H" Street offramp to
Waterman Avenue. Every Saturday morning trash is picked up and sidewalks
are swept. We are now asking that we be allowed to officially adopt these
streets. We are proposing that the city set up a program that parallels that of
the freeway adoption program.
This program would instill a sense of pride and responsibility in the citizens
choosing to participate. As a street is adopted, the city council could issue an
official proclamation stating that the street has been adopted. A sign, much like
those used on the freeways would be installed on the street. An adopted street
could be up to 1 mile increments. Minimum requirements would include cleaning
and sweeping of the sidewalks once a month. We propose that major business
streets be the first streets up for adoption. Perhaps other business districts
would be willing to adopt the major streets in their areas.
We anticipate that there will be many civic, scout, youth and church groups
willing to participate in this program. One of our goals of the Baseline Area
Business District is instill pride in our whole city.
Sinc rely,
