华埠治安基金会宣布
改善社区安全，“照亮中国城”项目正式启动
华埠治安基金会会长黄晖和福建商业联合总会会长郑时坦正在华埠安装照明灯
华埠治安基金会将在本周末启动“照亮中国城”试点项目，通过安装额外的照明灯来改善中国城亚历山大街街区(永活街和普林斯顿街之间)的照明。最近几周，华埠治安基金会对中国城的核心社区进行了调查，得出的结论是：改善照明对于提高社区安全性和保障性非常有效。亚历山大街街区因其关键位置而被选为示范试点。基金会将根据试点项目的经验和社区居民的反馈，尽快落实和公布在整个中国城社区实施此项目的详细计划。
“照亮中国城”试点项目将免费为居民安装高亮度的LED照明灯，基金会很高兴得到了亚历山大街区居民的同意和热情支持。该项目的规划还包括对最大照明和节省能源的考虑，安装的LED灯带有光源感应功能，可在黄昏时自动开灯，黎明时自动关灯。
基金会非常感谢社区众多居民、商家和机构提供的资金、实物和人力的支持，是大家的共同努力令本项目得以实施。
试点项目将在本周末启动并计划于圣诞节前完成。待项目完成评估后，华埠治安基金会将在稍后举行新闻发布会。
华埠治安基金会 (CSF)成立于 2020 年，是伊州注册的非牟利营机构，旨在应对芝加哥中国城社区日益增加的犯罪活动，这些犯罪活动对社区居民和商户造成了严重威胁和安全问题。华埠治安基金会(CSF) 的使命是通过筹款、确定和实施最佳项目来促进和维护芝加哥华埠居民和商户的安全和繁荣。基金会致力于协调当前的社区安全工作，并为有特定需求的领域作补充。
今晚照明灯的效果, 照亮中国城！
Chinatown Security Foundation announces Light-up Chinatown Pilot Project to improve community safety and security
Chinatown Security Foundation will be initiating a pilot project this weekend to improve illumination on the 200 block of Alexander Street between Wentworth and Princeton by installing additional lightings. The Foundation had surveyed the core Chinatown neighborhood in recent weeks and concluded that improved illumination could contribute to improved safety and security. The Alexander Street block was selected for the Pilot Demonstration for its key location. With experience acquired from the pilot project and feedback from community residents, an improved and detailed implementation plan will be announced for the whole Chinatown neighborhood.
The Pilot Project installations will be provided to the residents for free and the Foundation is glad to have received not only the consent but the enthusiastic support from the residents on the Alexander Block. The planning of the project included considerations of maximum illumination output as well as energy efficiency. The proposed lighting fixtures will have photocell feature to turn on at dusk and off at dawn.
The Foundation is also grateful for the financial, material and in-kind supports from many individuals and organizations in the community that make this project possible.
The Pilot Project will begin and be completed within next week and before Christmas. There will be a press conference at a later date after we have completed an evaluation.
