Safety Ambassador Data Collection
The purpose of the data is to both track the interactions of the ambassadors and also to help paint a clearer picture of what every day life is like in our neighborhood. Note that the data shown should be taken with a grain of salt. The ambassadors work from 2PM-10PM and can only be at one place at a time.
Data from collected from Quo: January 1 - January 29
CID CPTED INTERVENTION PROJECT
Over the past two months the CIDBIA, in partnership with SCIDpda and FLS, have been working with numerous businesses in our neighborhood to apply CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles to create a safer environment.
We are working with the Office of Economic Development through the Back to Business Fund to help reimburse damages to storefronts that have had damages since July 2024. If your business is in need of repairs and security, please contact Christopher Yip.
I am currently working with more than 15 businesses in the CID to repair damaged property and install security improvements. Over the past 5 months we have been able to return over $75,000 dollars back into the community. Here is a list of businesses that we are working with or have received repairs!
