- A commitment to cleanliness and community
Clean amenities, unobstructed sidewalks and well-maintained landscapes are an invitation to come in—to immerse yourself in our real-life city neighbourhood.
SAFE, CLEAN, & AWESOME APP
Help keep East Village looking its best with the new Safe, Clean, & Awesome app! From graffiti to overflowing garbage bins, this easy-to-use app lets you snap a picture, upload it, and helps us stay on top of community maintenance.
This app is not a replacement for 311 or emergency services. Please note the East Village Safe, Clean & Awesome app service requests are monitored weekdays from 8:00am – 4:30pm. For urgent requests outside of these hours please visit our Who to Call page, otherwise requests will be prioritized during business hours.
The Safe, Clean & Awesome app covers all 49 acres of East Village—including Jack & Jean Leslie RiverWalk, and the heart of East Village proper (from 9th Avenue to Riverfront Avenue, and 3rd Street SE to the east) as well as the 31 acres on St. Patrick’s Island
