ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY
Participating is easy!
If you are interested in helping to keep the environment clean
and free of litter in your community, the Department of Public
Works’ Adopt-A-Highway Program provides individuals, families,
businesses, organizations, and public agencies with a unique
opportunity to gain recognition while beautifying the Antelope
Valley.
Interested parties can adopt a two-mile section of a roadway in
the unincorporated County area of the Antelope Valley for a
period of two years and pick up litter a minimum of four times
a year. In return, Los Angeles County Department of Public
Works will install two recognition signs at the beginning of your
adopted stretch of highway in each direction and also provide
you with trash bags and safety equipment.
To find out more about this program or to discuss a potential
location for adoption, please visit www.dpw.lacounty.gov/

PARKWAY TREE MAINTENANCE
It is important for the environment and community
to have healthy and well-maintained parkway
trees. The Department of Public Works is the
local agency responsible for trimming and
maintaining approximately 23,000 parkway
trees that are within the public road rights-ofway
in the unincorporated Antelope Valley.
In order to promote growth and ensure a tree’s
long term health, fast growing trees are
trimmed every two years and slow growing
trees every five years.
If you have any questions regarding parkway
tree maintenance or if you would like to
request planting of new parkway trees, call
(661) 947-7173. For emergencies related to
parkway trees, call the 24/7 dispatch at
(800) 675-4357 (HELP).
The Traffic and Lighting Division of Public Works provides investigations of traffic control
measures to enhance traffic safety and operation. For any traffic control measure requests
such as installation of traffic signals, signs, speed limits, curbs, or parkway restrictions, call
