To recap here are the top issues many of you shared with us from PNI Safety Community Conversations:

June 4^th – 800 S. Oneida St. (Follow Upon Wed. September 18^th)

• Youth Engagement: There is a strong desire and a growing need for programs and initiatives that divert our youth from crime. This includes better support for diversion courts, employment opportunities, and engagement activities to keep them out of the criminal justice system.
• Transportation & Infrastructure: Residents want improvements in public transportation, better maintenance of street lighting and sidewalks, and a more accessible approach to public services, especially for seniors and unhoused individuals.
• Crime & Safety: Residents are deeply concerned about the high rates of car theft and feel a strong need for better enforcement of traffic laws and improved police response times. There is also a call for more police presence, and more resources for officers.

Our team is working to coordinate with city agencies to act on these top concerns and the other feedback and ideas surfaced at the meeting. We value your time and active involvement.
