Nobody Asked Who Closed the Street

Nobody at the event asked who closed the street. That’s usually how you know an event went well.

National Night Out at The Preserve involved the homeowners association, an apartment community, a retail center, a street the City of Chino controls, police and fire, and tenants with businesses to run that night. Different priorities, different approval chains, one evening.

Master-planned communities are complicated by design. Homes, apartments, retail, parks and schools all touching each other is what makes them work as places. It also means any event across all of it takes real coordination.

Credit to the people who did that part.
