City of Shoreline, WA : Adopt-A-Road

Shoreline Breakfast Rotary Club, after Completing a Litter Cleanup

You can help keep Shoreline clean and green by joining the Adopt-a-Road program. The Adopt-a-Road program provides opportunities for individuals, businesses, clubs, church groups, and other organizations to adopt one-mile or greater stretches of City-maintained roads. Volunteers can help beautify the City by cleaning both sides of the roadway at least four times per year. The program has three main goals:

To reduce litter along Shoreline roadways, while increasing community pride.
To keep our surrounding environment, including storm water inlets, clean.
To increase public awareness and demonstrate positive action about the issue of littering.

How to Adopt a Road?
1.	Consider a road for adoption. (Available Roads) (Adopt A Road Program Map)
2.	Contact the City’s Customer Response Team (CRT) at (206) 801-2700 for assistance in selection of a City-maintained road that is available for adoption.
3.	With CRT Division staff, develop your litter clean-up schedule. Adopt-a-Road teams will receive personalized signs, installed at the beginning and ending points along the adopted roadway reflecting your group’s commitment.
4.	Complete an application form and send it to us using the contact information at the bottom of this page. Feel free to call or e-mail first to discuss road availability. Once your adoption request is approved, you will receive an in-person safety orientation, sign an Adopt-A-Road Agreement and fill out a recognition sign request.
