Willard Street Drainage Improvement Project
The main goal of the Willard Street Drainage Improvement Project is to address stormwater flooding of the street and abutting properties. The project also provides an opportunity to upgrade other obsolete utilities and provide surface improvements including accessible sidewalks and traffic calming.
Pedestrian-Controlled Crosswalk Lights
Install five pedestrian-controlled flashing lights at high impact locations. Crosswalks without signals can be risky for pedestrians and confusing for both pedestrians and drivers.

Prevention Strategies
We view all attempts to educate, promote healing, and support the economic stability of individuals and communities as prevention strategies. To that end, we support organizations who already do this work to incorporate conversations about DGBV and skill building around healthy conflict and communication. We promote strategies that will not cause further harm to communities in their attempt to help.
