PICK UP THE TRASH FLASH !
Perception makes a difference : If the area feels safe, it likely has a lower crime rate. But what exactly contributes to that safe feeling? Cleanliness seems to matter; broken bottles, garbage and neglected properties can all create a sense of jeopardy, and a sense that laws are not heavily enforced. Other factors like good lighting and welcoming public spaces can make a neighborhood feel safer.
Mayor Dickens, is promoting public safety on every front, prioritizing the issue which won him the election : Every city agency will be involved in public safety, even rubbish collectors. “If you live in a neighborhood that is trashy, you think everyone else doesn’t care about the neighborhood, and why should I.”
3 Ways to keep our streets clean: 1- Individual Maintenance: Picking up 10 pieces of trash in front of our properties & on our walks can help keep our streets looking well cared for and reduce crime. 2- FWW Organized Trash Pickups: Stay Tuned, sign up for the Newsletter & visit the Events page for trash pick-up up-dates. 3- APD Code Enforcement: dial 311 – keeps the neighborHOOD looking safe, which studies have shown create better behavior as well.
