What We’re Doing

The Clean Plan tackles Downtown’s most visible challenges by improving trash collection, enhancing sidewalk cleaning, and upgrading ambassador tools for faster response. It introduces new efficiency measures, beautifies public spaces with fresh paint and landscaping, and strengthens safety through crime-deterrent technology and increased patrol visibility. The plan also supports expanded humanitarian outreach and kicks off targeted improvements in Downtown parks and green spaces.
