People make a downtown great.
In seeking to have a vibrant central city, our overriding concern is that our downtown be a safe place for our neighbors and guests. The city commissioners and I have a continuing commitment to provide the highest quality public safety services possible. With the increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic downtown, we have been looking for even better ways to enhance public safety and a key component of that is providing emergency medical services. We believe that this will increase public safety in two ways. First, we hope to provide the quick response necessary for EMS incidents in the downtown area.
