Focus on improving and expanding services to community members in need, including low- <br />income seniors, un-housed residents, and ways to address issues related to homelessness. <br /> c. Increase public safety, for example: more patrols, better security in commercial areas, more <br />neighborhood watch groups, better lighting, and safer streets. <br /> d. Focus on activities that build a green community where neighbors promote and support <br />gardening, plant trees, and maintain a verdant landscape. <br /> e.
