Summary
Herbert Street’s long-neglected vacant lot finally got some attention—overgrown grass, trash, and stray animals have turned it into a safety hazard for kids. With nearly 5,000 vacant lots and 14,000 properties across the city, maintenance is a massive challenge. City leaders are now using a new public dashboard, CityStat, to track mowing progress by neighborhood and boost efficiency with an extra $2 million for brush clearing. Residents like Tonya Dilworth are hopeful this data-driven approach will finally turn things around and reclaim their block.
