30th Ave was a location that the <br />public had expressed concerns <br />to the Fire Marshall's Office and <br />Public Works before the start of the <br />project. <br />With it being a precarious enough <br />job, it was difficult for the City to have <br />previously administered the ask to <br />manage this worksite. However, this <br />was a perfect example of how the fuels <br />reduction project can fill needs for work <br />groups. <br />With a ton of storm damage, invasive <br />species and a tremendously steep cliff <br />into the busy 30th ave, citizens had felt <br />that the site had been "abandoned". <br />Yet with a bit of hardwork and good <br />communication with the departments <br />who had been hearing about this <br />site for awhile, it looks almost <br />unrecognizable with the work done. <br />It helped aleviate City staff time <br />dedicated to it and also won a major <br />swing of support from the neighbors. <br />This led to an additional invovlement <br />of 20+ homeowners with the program <br />due to their satisfaction with how the <br />situation was handled. <br />Being able to earn their trust by <br />following up with their concerns and <br />getting the work done quickly made <br />them some of our biggest advocates. <br />After <br />Invasive ground cover is <br />removed, thinning is appro- <br />priate.
