more security- cleanness More security. the security and not a lot of loiter on the streets security in the area security Have extra curricular activities for the kids after school Better pedestrian crossings Reduce crime Begin eliminating gangs Increase security Infrastructure-roads and sidewalks, add more crosswalks, street lighting, trash from overflowing dumpsters blowing down the streets and onto properties, increase security especially at night and on holidays with security guards and police. Improve the quality and attractiveness of Vickery Meadow. With an overabundance of low income housing, we are not taking advantage of the privileged location that we are in. We are close to entertainment, shopping, and the hospital but none of these improvements are making their way into Vickery Meadow because of crime. Significant investments could be made, which would attract more business to the community if there was a focus on cleaning up the image. - sidewalks - code enforcement on large apartment complexes to bring them up to a better standard - completion of trail with lighting (for nighttime/winter use) Safety, cleaning, affordable housing needs to be very selective to whom is granted. Road repairs, sidewalks, street lighting, blight, trash. traffic, get rid of the slum lords, prostitution and drug trafficking, fix 5 points. better police presence Try to minimize the dinggines of the look of greenville avenue. Provide sidewalks at the back of presbyterian on greenville avenue. Bickers meadow should work on their roads, because their roads seem to be quite tight, thus the streets don't seem to be as safe as they should be. I also think that within 1-3 years, Vickery Meadows should work on their safety; recently my friends house was broken into for no reason at all. Her family is scared, and the robbers broke in, while almost killing her brother. 1. Crime and Safety 2. Streets and sidewalks 3.
