Lincoln Square has seen a slight uptick in graffiti lately, but our amazing Clean Team has been on top of it - cleaning tags off of our signage, as well as streetlight poles, mailboxes, and other public street furniture. This past weekend, after being alerted by our Public Safety Supervisor Lincoln Constance to fresh graffiti in several places near 68th and Broadway, Clean Team Supervisor Carlos Valladares quickly got to work, removing all of the tags within a few hours of being spotted. Thanks for all the hard work!
