Mitra asked for a City Manager report on public safety, cleanliness, maintenance and enforcement on Worcester Common and surrounding streets, with current conditions, enforcement and outreach, and recommended measures. Kathleen M. Toomey added outreach by all departments to the homeless community on the Common and arrest information. Robert A.
