August 2010 Crime Report

Crime reports for the month of August are below.  After last month’s whopping crime wave, we asked our Extended Neighborhood Patrol officer to add an additional 5-hour patrol shift each week for a month or so.

Lowest Greenville Planned Development

Councilmembers Angela Hunt brought her proposed Lowest Greenville planned development (PD) district to residents of the Lower Greenville area on Thursday, July 29. At the community meeting Angela, along with other city representatives, and area neighborhood associations outlined the strategy for making Lowest Greenville (Belmont to Bryan) more neighborhood friendly by reducing crime in the area. The intent of the strategy is simple – create a PD district running along Greenville Avenue south of Belmont. The PD would require any business operating after a certain hour –midnight, for example – to obtain an SUP (Special Use Permit) from the City in order to remain open.  The board of your Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association unanimously approved the plan and pledged to support the effort.
