 The city's first neighborhood improvement strategy project is wrapping up and stop six cable residents are now enjoying safer streets and new amenities and significant residential development. The city's two-and-a-half million dollar initiative began back in January of 2017. Just over a year later, the city has installed more than 300 new street lights to make the neighborhoods safer at night. City cameras installed at key locations have helped reduce crime, providing police with evidence and leads that have resulted in convictions. Before the city's initiative, vacant buildings like this one attracted vagrants or worse. After demolishing dilapidated buildings and hauling away debris, the vacant lots are ready for development. The city also cleared up dozens of abandoned buildings, putting them back on the market. Stop six property owners are returning and in many cases are building on property that has been in their families for years. In other instances, developers see the interest and are selling properties many thought you would never see built in stop six. Take a look at some of the other improvements in stop six. Two hundred and seventy-eight tons of brush and trash cleared from right-of-ways, three hundred and seventy-three dead and hazardous trees removed. More than one hundred and eighty tons of litter and illegal dump sites cleaned up. We've also installed seventy-five hundred linear feet of new sidewalks, making it safer for children to walk to school and parks, and dozens of new curb ramps make it easier for residents of all ages and abilities to get around. In addition to paint, lights and parking improvements at Martin Luther King Junior Community Center, Rosedale Plaza Park has a brand new playground. Residents are also enjoying new benches, picnic tables and a walking trail. Later this year, Bunch Park on Ramey Avenue will get a shade pavilion, benches, playground equipment, sidewalks and much more. The city's neighborhood improvement strategy has helped make stop six a cleaner, safer community. With major projects coming to a close, the city looks forward to working with residents to keep the momentum going.
