The City’s around the clock street-cleaning program clears litter, empties bins, power-washes sidewalks, and removes graffiti in public places. Combined with downtown foot patrols (Councillor Loughton led reviving this with VicPD’s Chief Constable in early 2023), road maintenance, and OUR DWTN beautification, the majority of Victoria’s public spaces remain safe, clean, and welcoming. Intense focus continues in hot spots around the city, particularly downtown to support the needs of businesses and residents.
