Improve Sense of Safety and Security

Strengthen safety and security in Chinatown to contribute to a strong sense of a vibrant and inclusive place.

A sense of safety and security is essential to any vibrant, flourishing commercial destination. Challenges exist in Chinatown related to safety issues that impact daily business operations, visitor perception, and the ability to promote the area. The coexistence of numerous social agencies in the area which serve vulnerable populations from across the City creates unique sensitivities in Chinatown. While solving these complex challenges is beyond the scope of this Strategy, actions herein must be collaborative. Continued recognition and refinement of the ongoing work with respect to safety and security in Chinatown is required to support livability and a healthy, well maintained place of commerce.
