Adopt a Traffic Circle

Volunteer to adopt a traffic circle. Volunteers maintain the planted area inside the traffic circle to ensure they are clean, attractive, and do not interfere with visibility for cars.

Volunteers agree to maintain their traffic circle, including:

  • Weeding
  • Debris and trash removal
  • Pruning plants to a 24” height

Volunteers who wish to plant in their traffic circle should choose a plant species from the suggestions for traffic circle plantings list. If you want to plant a different species, please fill out the Planting List and submit to the City for approval.
