• Call the pros: 8 ambassadors will be roaming the streets with their bright yellow uniforms from 7AM to 8PM to walk people to their cars, take pictures, and report any illegal or suspicious activity. 

• Spreading their reach: The program will cover the River Market and the Main Street Creative Corridor, and may even expand to 12th Street in April.
