Neighbors,
Earlier this month, City Department Heads, Chief Murad, and I announced our Downtown Public Safety and Activation Plan for this summer. This initiative has been a collaborative, multi-departmental effort to assure that everyone feels welcome and safe in Burlington’s downtown.
There are four major elements to this plan:
- A new policing plan;
- Creating additional downtown public safety resources;
- Expanding our capacity to help people in need; and
- Activating the downtown and waterfront with a record number of events.
This newsletter is focused on the policing and public safety parts of this plan. The full plan that was presented at our press conference is available here. Our next newsletter will focus on the more than 140 events happening throughout the City this summer.
