Rebeautification: a Fourth Street worth the trip
Revitalizing and rebeautifying Fourth Street, the heart of downtown.
Rebeautification is about making San Rafael a place people are proud to walk through, and a place visitors want to come see.
One of my major focuses“Revitalizing and rebeautifying Fourth Street will be one of my major focuses.” Fourth Street is the core of San Rafael. When it looks cared for and its shops are open, people want to be there.
Businesses and foot trafficA beautiful, busy Fourth Street brings businesses back downtown, and businesses bring foot traffic. More people walking the street means more customers for downtown shops, and more license and sales-tax revenue for the city.
Ride the SMART train inA livelier downtown gives people more reasons to ride the SMART train into San Rafael, and more foot traffic for downtown shops. As Mahmoud says, it is about fixing America from the bottom up, one city at a time, through cooperation and collaboration.
