Mayor Ruais lauds city street cleaning teams for their impact after only one month
Businesses, residents and visitors seeing big improvements in downtown area
MANCHESTER, NH – Mayor Jay Ruais today lauded the city’s new street cleaning team for making a big difference in the downtown area after only one month on the job. The workers, known as Ambassadors, wear distinct royal blue shirts and start their day early, taking care of trash, needles and waste. They also interact frequently with the public, providing directions, responding to requests, and meeting with local businesses.
“The attention our Streetplus teams are paying to improving the cleanliness of Manchester’s Central Business Service District (CBSD) is amazing,” said Ruais. “In only one month, they picked up 3,150 pounds of trash, 52 needles, and 34 piles of human/animal waste. Additionally, they’ve recorded 57 one-on-one contacts with the public that help make our city even more friendly and responsive. As a result, we’re getting very positive feedback from residents, businesses and visitors.”
Economic Development Director Jodie Nazaka got the Streetplus program running and could not be more pleased with the start saying, “Maintaining the safety, cleanliness, and welcoming atmosphere of Downtown and the Millyard in Manchester requires exceptional support. By introducing this nationally recognized cleaning and hospitality service, we’re creating a safer and cleaner space for residents and visitors to enjoy. The results speak for themselves.”
James McGee, Operations Manager of the CBSD Cleaning Program added, “I am incredibly proud of the dedication and hard work our Ambassadors are putting into maintaining the streets of the CBSD. Their commitment to keeping our community clean and welcoming is truly inspiring, and their positive impact is evident every day.”
Mayor Ruais noted the program is currently in its 90-day startup period with more staffing and equipment on the way. Once fully operational, Streetplus Ambassadors will provide a range of services, including litter, debris and graffiti removal, plus power washing, along with sidewalk, pedestrian pathway and tree well cleaning.”
