Description
More police presence is expected downtown after Mayor Todd Gloria and other downtown leaders unveiled a new plan to clean up downtown Monday.
"Our plan outlines a path forward for safety, a vision where families are able to walk down the sidewalks from Petco Park without walking through crowds engaging in open drug use," said Betsey Brennan, President and CEO of the Downtown San Diego Partnership.
The new 5-point plan to improve health and safety includes rapid response on crime, new solutions for the behavioral health crisis, and backing and enacting new state retail theft laws. It also includes a push to reduce trash, clean sidewalks and improve street lighting.
According to San Diego Police, there's a rise in crime in the Gaslamp neighborhood.
