"At Oakland’s Fruitvale Public Market, I learned many tenants are having problems due to ongoing construction in the adjacent plaza and shootings in the area; merchants have proposed solutions including requesting private security or police officers at the plaza and making "much-needed upgrades" such as paint and outdoor seating, while the Unity Council said beautification efforts will be wrapped by September 15 but policing efforts have mostly stalled (for example, a decoy police car was only in place for a week before being removed by the police department)." - Dianne de Guzman
