Mayor and City Council <br /> November 14, 1995 <br /> Page Two <br /> Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design principles were discussed with the neighbor- <br /> hood group. Consistent with CPTED principles, it was determined that the following issues <br /> would be measures of success for Macon Place: a positive impact on crime, a feeling of owner- <br /> ship by residents in the neighborhood, an increased sense of safety, and overall improved neigh- <br /> borhood livability and quality of life. <br /> City staff has received opposition from one person regazding the proposed closure of the alley <br /> south of Macon Street at Monroe. There is a parking area behind the apartment building at 340 <br /> S. Monroe. The owner says his tenants would be affected. However, after studying other op- <br /> tions to close the alley, staff maintains its recommendation, based on traffic and crime patterns, <br /> to close the alley at Monroe. The neighborhood organization is aware of the opposition and con- <br /> tinues to support staff s position. <br /> The Traffic and Parking Commission also supports the placement of temporary barriers in the <br /> Macon Place neighborhood. A copy of the minutes are attached. <br /> Staff will be present to answer any questions. <br /> enc. <br />
