The market now includes:

• Cameras to monitor the site to enhance safety

• Two public streets are closed to traffic during market hours to create a larger comfort zone for the market crowd (Morton Street from 7th to just south of the Smallwood garage entrance, and 7th Street between Morton and the B-Line Trail; 8th Street will be closed west of the market to the entrance of the Cook Medical Center)

• The presence of police and other professional public safety officers has been increased

• New "market ambassadors," volunteers with experience and commitment to the market, welcome folks back and be visible embodiments of the inclusive spirit

• New signage indicates areas designated for flyering and expression and publicizes market rules
