Dear Neighbors, 

Let's join together to keep our neighborhoods clean and beautiful. Together, we can make a positive impact on our community and create a welcoming environment. In recent weeks, we have experienced a surge in graffiti on public and private properties. Our office has been working with city staff to quickly address these matters and prevent them. I also want to share these tips each of us can take:

  1. Proper Waste Disposal: Let's make sure to use designated trash bins for disposing of our waste. Avoid littering and kindly encourage others to do the same.
  2. Report Vandalism: If you notice graffiti or vandalism in our neighborhood, take a moment to report it on the Citizen Service Center web page or download the application on your mobile device. Timely reporting helps ensure swift action and maintenance of our public spaces. You may also report directly to Lisa Barrios or forward the CSC requests so that we may follow-up.
  3. Community Clean-Up Events: Participate in our local clean-up events, or contact my office to help organize one for your block. These events not only help clean our surroundings, but also foster a sense of unity and pride.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to the District 3 Office for assistance. Lisa Barrios, your District 3 Liaison may be reached at LisaBarrios@CityofPasadena.net.


Yours sincerely, 
Sig
Justin L. Jones
