			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anchorage Downtown Partnership, Ltd. (ADP) works diligently to maintain the 114 blocks (over 26 linear miles) of sidewalks in the <strong>Downtown Improvement District (DID), including keeping them free of snow and ice.</strong><span id="more-1058"></span> Jeff Robinson, Director of Maintenance, and his crew work seven days a week to remove snow and ice from sidewalks during the winter, with the Municipality hauling it from Downtown streets as promptly as possible.</p>
<p>ADP is constantly seeking out the best way to provide services. Part of the solution to this challenge is cooperation and communication. Communication is crucial to our success. In our attempt to keep you fully informed, we’ll continue using newsletters, e-mail blasts, newspaper articles and public information forums. If you are not hearing from us, or if you need assistance in keeping your sidewalks clear, you can call Jeff and his team at 277-0141 (shop main number) or the main office at 279-5650.</p>

<h2>SNOW MAPS</h2>
<p>We have prepared maps to show you where you can expect to see our equipment &#8211; and when &#8211; during our snow removal work. The maps are broken up according to the piece of equipment. Our snow removal teams complete their work in two 4.5 hour shifts starting at 5:00am each morning.  We aim to complete our first passes prior to most businesses opening and workers arriving. Our second pass covers areas that need extra attention, clean up along first pass routes as well as any secondary streets.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the past decade, cigarette smoking in America has decreased 28%, yet cigarette butts remain the most littered item&#8211;in the U.S. and across the globe.  Dropping cigarette butts to the ground, putting them in planters, and disposing of them in waterways is littering.<span id="more-881"></span></p>
<p>Why do smokers litter?  Mostly, it’s lack of awareness about the environmental impact and insufficient ash receptacles.  New ordinances are also moving more smokers outdoors or to designated areas.</p>
<p>Cigarette butts are unsightly, costly to clean up, and harmful to waterways and wildlife.  Get the <a href="http://preventcigarettelitter.org/index.html">facts</a>.</p>
<p>In 2008, Anchorage Downtown Partnership, Ltd. received a federal grant from Keep America Beautiful Inc. to help raise awareness that cigarette butts are litter too. As part of the grant, ADP collected statistics on the number of cigarette butts collected from downtown sidewalks and gutters in a one block demonstration zone. In addition, ADP worked with bar owners along the demonstration zone to distribute handheld ashtrays for smokers and posted materials from Keep America Beautiful that advertised litter problem created by discarded butts.</p>
