94th Street beautification

Hi there. I have lived in Vancouver now for 1.5 years and really enjoy my neighborhood in NE Vancouver near Costco. However it is downright depressing to lea e Padden Prkwy heading south on 94th as the streets appear totlu unkempt, weeds abound and trash everywhere. Is there a time scheduled for maintenance and beautification efforts? Why are some areas well maintained and others let go completely? I am urious how funds are prioritized and distributed to street projects? How can I help relieve this tired rundown area become visually happy and bright for those that live and drive this area? I would love to get involved.
