Improvements and Safety
Improving the beauty and safety of our neighborhood.
The Old North End thrives when neighbors roll up their sleeves together. This section highlights how we maintain beauty, function, and safety block by block through volunteer-powered projects and smart partnerships. From planting and caring for trees and flower beds, to restoring historic features and improving sidewalks, to coordinating professional patrols and sharing practical safety tips, our focus is simple: make the neighborhood safer, more walkable, and more beautiful today while investing in tomorrow’s canopy and character.
You’ll also find clear ways to get involved, such as adopt a median bed, join the Green Team, request a parkway tree, nominate a sidewalk for repair, support the Lamplighters’ effort, or learn how and when to contact police and sign up for local alerts. Small actions add up quickly here. Thank you for helping to keep the Old North End welcoming, historic, and safe.
