At the April 3, 20 Code Enforcement and Environment Committee topics of discussion centered around improving the 311Connect program and the increase in gun related crimes throughout the U-District. The committee felt more time was needed to connect with district residents for their feed back. We postponed further discussion till next month.
Because of the two unrelated shootings along N. High St. this month, some discussion ensued around the increase in the last year of gun related crimes throughout the U-District. Tom Wildman discussed the CPD improvements in relationship to the north of Lane Ave. burglaries [which is a result of the Olde North Columbus Preservation Society and Blockwatch letters and the UAC support letter]. It is felt though, that all crimes throughout the U-District seem to be worsening- greater violence. No recommendations are coming out of committee at this time. We will continue this dialogue and entertain a course of action in next month’s meeting.
