Central Eastside Together supports the district with on-the-ground programs that complement City services and help keep the neighborhood clean, safe, and welcoming. While our teams work daily to address issues and report concerns, we can’t do it alone. Your active role in reporting helps problems get resolved faster. Reporting matters—the data collected helps the City prioritize where to deploy crews and resources. When you see something, say something.
Below is a quick guide on who to contact for common safety and cleanliness concerns. Please share it with your teams so we can keep the Central Eastside moving forward together.
