Numerous efforts are currently underway to create a safer atmosphere for the nightlife in downtown San Luis Obispo. One group -- the Safe Nightlife Association, which represents a number of bars and restaurants downtown -- will be rolling out a number of strategies intended to increase safety for both the patrons and the community in surrounding areas. New programs include one that’s being called, “One 86, All 86,” which would give the bars a way to keep the most out-of-control customers out of their establishments by creating a database that would distribute their picture and information. Other program ideas include a cleanup process for the downtown area at night, efforts to decrease excessive drinking and fighting, and increased transportation options.
