Visitors to the website now have the ability to subscribe to the Downtown San Leandro news feed or sign up to receive email news alerts. There has been a lot of positive feedback received from those who have visited the website. We will be implementing new strategies next quarter to increase the traffic to the website.

Letter Writing Campaign A letter writing campaign has been launched this quarter to draw interest from prospective retailers and restaurants that the community would like to see in their downtown. Many resources have been dedicated to reach out to groups in the community as well as local residents, those who work in San Leandro and those who responded to the Downtown San Leandro survey conducted last year. In addition to these efforts, a Downto~Tn San Leandro booth has been reserved at the seasonal Farmers' Market where people are encouraged to participate in this campaign to bring these amazing retailers and restaurants to Downtown San Leandro. Many letters have already been written and we continue to receive wonderful support from the community who are excited to contribute to the revitalization of their downtown.
