Downtown
Dayton Implements SID – New Clean and Safe Program
January 4, 2006
While
those who live, work or play in downtown Dayton have become
familiar with the Ambassador services provided near the Third
and Main Street Transit Corridor, they will soon be receiving
the same benefits throughout the entire downtown core. With
the Implementation of Downtown Dayton's Special Improvement
District (SID), the Downtown Dayton Partnership has selected
Block by Block to expand their relationship and provide services,
which will enhance the perceptions of cleanliness, safety
and hospitality.
Specific
services meant to augment the efforts of local law enforcement
and the city's public works department will be taken on with
the implementation of the Improvement District. All services
are provided by a team of ‘Ambassadors' who are dressed in
highly visible ‘safety' green and navy uniforms.
Cleaning
tasks meant to address ‘detailed' concerns will be undertaken
such as litter removal, weed eradication, removal of graffiti
and handbills, power washing and other special projects, such
as painting and landscaping.
In
addition to the members of the Clean Team, Safety Ambassadors
will patrol the streets deterring unwanted activity, serving
as extra eyes and ears of the Dayton Police Department and
interacting with businesses. Safety Ambassadors provide coverage
to the entire service district, while on foot and bicycle.
Both
Safety and Cleaning Ambassadors are trained in a wide range
of activities, which are designed to serve in a downtown environment.
From addressing quality of life issues, to suggesting various
social service outreach agencies to the homeless, and even
making suggestions about the great places to eat in downtown
the Ambassador staff is trained to do it all!
Next
time you are in downtown Dayton , look for the friendly team
of smiling Ambassadors outfitted in bright green uniforms.
You can find them hard at work making downtown a better place
for the many new projects and investments which are under
way!
