The grand opening of the ice rink in San Francisco's Union Square brought out little ice-skating princesses moving to the song from Disney's film Frozen as well as an acrobatic performer in a giant wheel on Wednesday evening.
"We've increased the police presence. We have retired police officers who are down here as ambassadors," said Mayor Breed, "We want people to feel good about being in San Francisco and shopping. We have plans around keeping our parking lot safe.There's going to be a lot more security during the holiday season."
"Make them feel safe, and also they don't have to worry about car break-ins, because that's a thing people worry about or going to certain parts of the city," said Brittany Kendrick, one of the San Francisco Welcome Ambassadors. "It's much better for us to have our ambassadors supporting people if it's a first aid crisis, if it's directions, if it's figuring out where to go for restaurant organizations," said Marisa Rodriguez, Executive Director of the Union Square Alliance.
