Mayor Eric Adams has initiated a "community coalition" with the NYPD to combat significant issues of drug use and homelessness in Washington Square Park. Joined by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and local civic leaders, Adams outlined a collaborative effort involving 13 city agencies aimed at improving the troubled 10-acre park. This initiative, part of the "Community Link" program, seeks to restore the park's vibrancy and address the ongoing challenges faced by the community, including alarming incidents of crime and unrest.
Last year, the city began to address the persistent public drug use, homelessness, and quality of life concerns in response to community complaints in Washington Square Park.
When we think about Washington Square Park ... you think about the vibrancy of that area, artists, students, local businesses all coming together.
