February 2011 Crime Reports

The crime reports for February are below. With a several snow days and a short month, the numbers are very low. I expect these numbers to go up as Spring approaches. We did see a small jump in the number of auto thefts. Nothing compared to the numbers we used to see a couple of years ago, but a few more than normal for the last two years. Speaking of cars, you’ll see one incident where a thief was laid out under a car trying to saw off a muffler when a resident saw him and chased him off.

The annual St. Patrick’s Day Special Event is coming on March 12, 2011. In an effort to quell the negative impact of tens of thousands of St. Patrick’s party-goers descending upon Lower Greenville residential neighborhoods, LGNA has again been working with event organizers, City departments, and other neighborhood associations to achieve significant results. Temporary no-parking signs will again be posted on the east side of Greenville between Ross and Winton. The only blocks that are excepted from no-parking signs will be the 5900 and 6000 blocks north of McCommas and the 5700-6000 blocks of McCommas itself. Because McCommas and Mockingbird are major thoroughfares and wide enough to accommodate two-way traffic, there will not be any parking restrictions on those two streets. All other blocks within the LGNA area – Ross to Mockingbird, Greenville to Skillman – will have either temporary no-parking signs, permanent no-parking, or day-long resident parking only.
