ABOUT US

Chime

We collaborates with many businesses and stakeholders in the community to generate a place for success. For example, we highlight businesses located within the District in the NE News displaying services and products. We also offer a storefront improvement program that assists our businesses.

This mural can be found on the corner of St. John Ave. and Askew Ave.

Grime

The Avenue continues to see daily beautification progress made by our Urban Street Ambassadors (USA) who keep the Avenue clear of litter, decorate for various holidays, maintain common area landscaping. Regardless of the weather, they also help monitor street activity.

Crime

Our Avenue Angels (Titan Security) address nuisance crimes on properties within the district and are “eyes on the Avenue.” From 8:30am-11:30pm, seven days a week plus overnight patrol, TITAN assists International Marketplace (i.e., CID) businesses and on-site customers.

The Avenue Angels at American Sons of Columbus prepare for their patrol.
