More small businesses with a commitment to improving and participating in the community - sol café, smack dab and common cup do a great job with this. I think investment in small business is crucial; we want the neighborhood to keep its vibrant, diverse identity intact without gentrification. More safe social gathering locations and events (e.g. coffee houses, bars, block parties, plays in the park) Help current businesses become more professional and well known (retail, restaurant, entertainment) to draw those outside of the Rogers Park area. Continued beautification of the area, especially around

• Howard. More public art prioritizing artists in the Rogers Park

community. I would love to holiday lighting carried over to Jarvis Square. Improvement of crime and safety as this often deters me from visiting Howard more often. Anything art oriented! The pole designs would be wonderful to distinguish Jarvis square as a place to visit. Coordination of neighborhood marketing, raising our profile and delivering quality community experiences to showcase

• ur neighborhood as a destination for visitors and residents

to support our small business.
