COVID-19 Update: The DRA Safety Ambassadors remain on patrol in downtown. The Ambassadors are practicing appropriate social distancing, including remaining at least 6 feet from anyone during interactions.
Ambassador patrols have been adjusted to increase their presence during times when residents are out walking around in the afternoon and evenings, as well as aligned with when the employees of downtown businesses, including remaining open restaurants and retailers, are coming to and from work. Ambassadors will continue to patrol throughout most nighttime hours as well to ensure we continue to have eyes on streets in downtown.
