  • Implementing the Eyes on the Street reporting program
  • Developing a Graffiti By-law
  • Submitting monthly graffiti inventories to the Durham Regional Police Service
  • Experimenting with coatings and other materials to protect infrastructure from graffiti
  • Liaising with community partners to advise when non-City owned properties are vandalized
  • Working with Durham Regional Police Service’s Youth in Policing program to host a graffiti clean-up initiative
  • Increasing available space where graffiti art is acceptable (such as the Skateboard Park within Diana, Princess of Wales Park)
  • Investigating hosting a graffiti art competition
