It\u2019s an exhilarating endorsement from the people who have seen what\u2019s happening up close.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8277\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8277\" style=\"width: 605px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegodowntownnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/1webtop.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8277 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sandiegodowntownnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/1webtop.jpg\" alt=\"1webtop\" width=\"605\" height=\"351\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 605px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 605\/351;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8277\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maintenance Ambassadors, members of the Partnership\u2019s Clean &amp; Safe Program, work year-round to keep Downtown looking its best. (Courtesy DSDP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s also a validation of our mission. We at Clean &amp; Safe see our work as a legitimate partnership with the community we serve. It\u2019s a collaborative coalition of like-minded citizens and property owners who are pulling together to make a significant difference. The fruits of our combined efforts are essential to the ongoing evolution of our urban center.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at what\u2019s been accomplished since the beginning of the year:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Removed 10,479 pieces of graffiti<\/li>\n<li>Removed 385.76 tons of debris<\/li>\n<li>Swept 74,000 sidewalks<\/li>\n<li>Pulled more than 44,000 weeds<\/li>\n<li>Visited more than 6,300 businesses<\/li>\n<li>Provided directional assistance to visitors and residents more than 9,000 times<\/li>\n<li>Responded to more than 30,600 security calls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Clean &amp; Safe is also on the cutting edge, continuously exploring opportunities to innovate the services we provide. This year alone, Clean &amp; Safe has:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Launched a gum removal pilot program using ice-blasting technology<\/li>\n<li>Conducted a scientific study to determine the most effective product for removing odor in an urban environment<\/li>\n<li>Implemented a state-of-the-art data tracking system using real-time technology to increase efficiency and reduce costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But we\u2019ll hardly be resting on our laurels. The transformation of Downtown San Diego has been galvanizing since the formation of Clean &amp; Safe 12 years ago, but we\u2019ve listened to the community and we realize there is still work to be done.<\/p>\n<p>In the months to come, you will see the Clean &amp; Safe program provide even more of the services Downtown property owners have been asking for, including additional beautification and place-making efforts, and enhanced safety and maintenance programs.<\/p>\n<p>Visually, there will be more lights in trees, helping to buttress a festive atmosphere, and an increase in drought-tolerant plantings, to bring livelier flora without further stressing our water needs.\u00a0More Maintenance Ambassadors and Safety Ambassadors will be added to the mix and a significant increase in homeless outreach services is a top priority.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8336\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8336\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegodowntownnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/3web.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8336 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sandiegodowntownnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/3web.jpg\" alt=\"(Courtesy DSDP)\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/433;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8336\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Courtesy DSDP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s been a great ride so far, but the finish line\u2019s not yet been crossed. The deep and wide support for the Clean &amp; Safe\u2019s efforts so far has been inspiring and invigorating and provides a foundation for an urban renaissance that has been extremely successful.<\/p>\n<p>Clean &amp; Safe has been a critical part of Downtown\u2019s transformation into a vibrant, distinctive urban center.
