Good morning, Davis.

Residents in Davis have raised concerns over downtown cleanliness as vacant storefronts, trash left on sidewalks, and unruly gatherings make the area feel less family-friendly—locals have suggested adding planter boxes, sweeping sidewalks, and clearing leaves more often to improve the environment. Businesses and families worry that the current upkeep favors the larger student population, and they call on the city to balance maintenance for all.
