Kensington Revival Plan

(Inquirer) Mayor Cherelle L. Parker’s administration is launching a new data dashboard for the city’s Kensington neighborhood as a way for residents to track progress on crime, vacant property remediation, and other quality-of-life indicators.

Kristin Bray, the mayor’s chief legal counsel and the leader of the data initiative, called Philly Stat 360, said the launch of the public dashboard is part of a new phase of the city’s plan for Kensington geared toward empowering residents to “take back” the neighborhood after two years of an increased police presence.
