Recognizing 20 Years of the Downtown Cleveland Clean & Safe Program

Cleveland City Council is preparing to honor two decades of service dedicated to the upkeep and security of our city's core. A new ceremonial resolution, filed as 866-2026, seeks to officially recognize the 20th anniversary of the Downtown Cleveland Clean & Safe Program. This initiative has long played a role in maintaining the environment and atmosphere of the downtown district for residents and visitors alike.

The program, which involves a partnership between the city and various organizations, utilizes a team of ambassadors to manage various district needs. According to Downtown Cleveland Incorporated, these uniformed, unarmed ambassadors work year-round to provide a visible presence. Their duties include litter disposal, sanitizing public touchpoints, removing graffiti, and providing safety escorts, as noted by the Downtown Cleveland Alliance. This resolution marks a milestone for the continuous efforts to keep the heart of the city welcoming and functional.

The resolution is currently listed as "Agenda Ready" and is under the purview of City Council. Residents can watch for upcoming council meetings to see when the formal recognition is scheduled for discussion or adoption.
