Street Sweeping - The City needs an effective, data-driven street sweeping program that's evaluated to make sure it's working properly. At regular intervals from spring through fall, residents remove their cars and mechanical street cleaners travel various routes, washing and vacuuming up debris from streets and curbs along the way. Neighborhoods that score over 90 percent cleanliness for two fiscal years in a row can request to reduce the frequency of city street cleaning which also reduces the deployment of city street sweepers and need to move cars. The streets will not only be clean, but it encourages a habit of keeping streets clean among residents. Smart Routing - Currently, each morning Sanitation workers are assigned their routes based off paper spreadsheets on clipboards and maps that remain static until there is a much slower data change made. In this system, it can take weeks if not months to respond to collections changes due to weather, increased tonnage, road construction or staffing. What's needed to fix this system is a smart-routing system where onboard GPS can be connected to real time routing technology so routes can be created in real time and adapted to meet the current staffing needs and external challenges of Sanitation collections in each district that very morning. "Pay as You Throw" - Waste reduction is a lot harder to achieve when we can put as much waste as we want curbside. The city should consider "Pay as You Throw", a system that transforms municipal waste management from a tax funded service to an affordable utility. The City should create a designated location that collects picked up litter by residents and offers them cash in return. Now could be the time to enact legislation that would be effective, while also addressing the needs of low-income residents.
