Lowest Greenville PD Comes to Vote

The Lowest Greenville Planned Development is an effort to resolve some of the persistent crime problems caused by a small number of bars on Lowest Greenville which have consistently drawn violent crime into the area. The plan is working its way through the City of Dallas zoning process at this time. The message below from Angela Hunt and the six area neighborhood associations describes how you can help us get this proposal passed. There is an organized opposition which wishes to continue business as usual, so your support is needed. Please take a moment to email the CPC with your support of this proposal.

Next week, the City Plan Commission will vote whether to recommend a proposal to require Lower Greenville businesses to get a permit from the city to operate after midnight. This effort enjoys broad, unprecedented support from all surrounding neighborhood associations, major property owners, business owners, the Dallas Police Department, and City Councilmembers Angela Hunt and Pauline Medrano.  Continue reading “Lowest Greenville PD Comes to Vote”

As a result, we were down in every category, but especially lower on residential thefts and burglaries. Unfortunately, we do not have enough members in the ENP program to maintain the higher level of patrols year round, so we have moved back to 10 hours a week. (Yes, that’s a plug for more members!) For more information on the program, click the ENP link on the menu above. Continue reading “September 2010 Crime Report”
