Deep Ellum is ramping up for a busy summer and an increase in visitors. A new community safety plan was unveiled Thursday to tackle issues like public safety, panhandling, and traffic control.This plan is more than six months in the making, after several community meetings to get input from businesses and block walks with police.
"They literally went to businesses and said, ‘We can put up cameras that cover the district, but we need power, a wall to screw into, and the internet,’ and businesses said, ’Yep, I will give you all of that,’ and that’s been huge," Daniel added. "Being a part of the meetings, giving our input, talking to them, I know they love having cameras we sponsor on our buildings to make sure we cover all the corners," said Jason Wilson, with Federales.
The neighborhood will also concentrate on clearing crowds after bars close, which is the time where issues typically pop up."Our camera campaign, our command center, but also transportation initiatives, our ride share zones restart this week, as well as looking at things like the juvenile curfew," said Stephanie Keller Hudiburg, with Deep Ellum Foundation.
