the following tasks:
- Removing litter, fast food bags, cups, containers, cigarette
butts and other debris on sidewalks, street gutter, and alleys.
Trash removal and cleaning the sidewalks are mostly what
Ambassadors do. Anything that keeps your district from looking
clean and inviting has to go.
- Remove graffiti and posters from light posts, trash cans, news
boxes and other public infrastructure. We look high and low for
anything in eyesight that needs to be removed. You know those
stickers for bands and bars? Handbills that junk up the telephone
polls, well they got to go too.
- Pull isolated weeds. Weeds, weeds, weeds, they seem like they
sprout up overnight. We pull them all. Weed abatement is a big part
of this job. Those weeds grow around the tree wells, the cracks in
the sidewalks, the vacant lots, you name it. If there is a crack, a
weed can get in.

lids, news boxes and other infrastructure. This is vital. WE have

the way to actively acknowledge pedestrians with a friendly
greeting or identify visitors in order to provide directions,

will cross the street to say "hello." Our Ambassadors never meet a
stranger.
* REPORTING - must be able to provide written reports of broken
infrastructure, graffiti on private property, and provide a basic
daily report of accomplishments and tasks completed. We use Smart
