It’s a safe neighborhood for the most part, but the spate of violent incidents at and around the station in recent months is definitely concerning. There were several proposals to “activate” the station’s plaza in addition to other improvements. But who knows if these will ever happen.

What does that mean, exactly? Like build shops or whatever? Or a park?

Basically hosting community events there. A separate project would improve the plaza. Kinda what they did with Eastern Market
