Takeaways from Seattle Schools CPTED The North 24th Street Business Improvement District’s Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) program strategically uses the CPTED principles of maintenance, natural surveillance, access control, and territoriality to prevent crime and facilitate community. The Litter Control and Beautification initiative plays a pivotal role in this. In a 2023 published study, researchers from Texas A&M and the University of Washington measured the relationship between CPTED principles and crime around low-income, racially diverse schools in Seattle, Washington. This study gauged the effectiveness of CPTED principles at the block level, seeking to understand ways schools can reduce crime and increase walkability for students. Two important environmental conditions – cleanliness of streets and visual quality of buildings – consistently showed a negative relationship with violent crimes and property crimes around these schools. The significance of area maintenance is nothing new – evidence for its crime reduction impact has accumulated under CPTED, the broken window theory, and cues to care. The North 24th Street BID applies area maintenance in our Litter Control and Beautification initiative. The BID works collaboratively to create a clean and safe environment for residents and businesses through regular groundskeeping, community cleanups, and community outreach. Residents and businesses can contribute by maintaining their property, picking up adjacent trash, and volunteering for community cleanups. The last 2024 BID Community Cleanup is on September 14th from 9 AM to 11 AM at the Global Leadership Group Gardens: 3118 North 24th Street.

SaniGLAZE by Cubix, Inc. has been used by Florida school districts for decades as a way to dramatically improve the condition and appearance of their tile and hard surfaces—for a fraction of the cost of replacement. The multi-step restoration process allows schools to sidestep the high cost of ripping out and replacing unsanitary, damaged tile, and instead remove contaminants and instead remove contaminants, ensuring tile and hard surfaces stay cleaner for longer with the custodial efforts that are already happening day-to-day. https://vist.ly/3et49

Another day, another issue tenants have with Milwaukee's public housing. Today, I talked with residents at a newer development who say they haven't had working heat and are relying on space heaters and ovens to warm their units. #news #milwaukee #publichousing #winterwx #winterstorm #investigativejournalism #wisconsin #wisconsinnews

Leaky roof to be fixed:

Saving for a rainy day. Last night the central Iowa area received about 1” of rainfall, this would shut most landscapers down for the day, but team Alpha doesn’t give up quite that easy. Monsoon or drought, projects need to get built, deadlines need to be hit, and employees need paid. So on this “rain” day we still have over half our field staff working, installing site furnishings, weeding beds, pulling t-posts, installing rock and mulch off hard surfaces, catching up on equipment maintenance and doing our best not to make too much of a mess in the mud. Saving tasks like this for a wet day is a bit of a tricky game, but it pays off for us in increased asset utilization, increased employee income, and overall improved efficiency in our operation.

WOOD ON GLASS WEDNESDAY Welcome to our 'Wood on Glass Wednesday' series where we feature one of our Wood on Glass images and description every Wednesday! This image from William T. Clarke is of a cook standing next to a table set for at least 40 men inside the Hammersley Boarding House (Clinton County). Camp Cooks and Cookees could be women or men. Women were often employed as a cost savings measure and were family of the man responsible for hiring the camp crew. Cooks were responsible for making and serving all of the meals for the camp workers. The size of the crew varied from camp to camp and season to season, but it was not uncommon for the size of some camps to reach about 80 at times (sometimes larger). One estimate believes that a wood hick (lumberjack) would have needed to consume around 5,000 calories or more per day in order to sustain their level of work.
