Springs MAC dissolves Plaza ad hoc, renews Adopt‑a‑Road cleanup
Summary
The council voted to dissolve the Springs Community Plaza ad hoc due to limited community need and ongoing property litigation; it approved renewal of Adopt‑a‑Road 3.0 for Verona Avenue with county support for equipment and logistics.
The Springs Municipal Advisory Council voted to dissolve the Springs Community Plaza ad hoc (no creation of a Plaza 2.0), citing limited active community interest, pending property litigation on nearby Matson-owned parcels, and uncertainty about a permanent plaza’s timeline. On the motion to dissolve, the motion carried by voice vote.
The council then renewed Adopt‑a‑Road as Adopt‑a‑Road 3.0 for Verona Avenue (from Sonoma Highway to Olive Avenue). Council members discussed volunteer requirements, safety training videos from Caltrans, county-provided vests and grabbers, Recology support for disposal and recycling, and logistics for scheduling one or two community cleanups per year. The motion to renew Adopt‑a‑Road 3.0 passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: the actions change how the council organizes community projects and clarifies the ad hoc roster moving forward. Council members asked staff to place ad hoc lists and updated calendars on the May agenda and to coordinate volunteer outreach and safety briefings.
