Outgoing Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf this week unveiled new public safety initiatives for many of the city's retail districts in hopes to attract shoppers and support businesses as they continue to recover from the effects of the pandemic.
The mayor has resolved to spend up to $779,000 on the initiatives in various shopping hubs in the city such as Piedmont, Jack London Square, Rockridge and Lakeshore, as well as the Laurel, Temescal, Korea and Chinatown, Dimond and Montclair Districts, and of course downtown.
Schaaf's Welcome Back Downtown initiative will also expand daytime security and civilian ambassador presence for shoppers, diners, bar-hoppers and anyone else wanting to enjoy Oakland's cultural life. New nighttime security ambassadors will be added, along with nighttime traffic control and monitoring of illegal vending.
