This request is supported by the Macon <br /> Place and NWRAPS neighborhoods and was approved by the City's Traffic and Parking <br /> Commission at its April meeting. Excerpts from the minutes are attached hereto. <br /> On November 20, 1995, the City Council authorized the closure of various streets and <br /> alleys in the Macon Place neighborhood as part of a Crime Prevention Through Environmental <br /> Design (CPTED) project. These closures were carried out on February 14, 1996, at the locations <br /> provided on the attached map. These closures were installed with the active support of the <br /> Macon Place and NWRAPS neighborhoods. <br /> The Macon Place neighborhood conducted a neighborhood meeting in April 1997, <br /> wherein City staff presented crime and tr�c statistics relative to the CPTED project. <br /> Essentially, crime statistics remained the same and traffic volumes were reduced significantly <br /> throughout the neighborhood. Neighborhood residents are in favor of the closures and with the <br /> changes that they have brought about in the area. <br /> Staff will be available to answer any questions the City Council may have. <br /> attach: 3 <br /> cc: Richard A.
