I know this is nitpicking but I wish they'd get the streets and avenues correct. It was 14th Street and 4th Avenue that had the shooting...and I could be mistaken but the woman quoted probably lives on 15th Street near Mt. Vernon...not AVENUE because I don't think 15th Avenue is part of Wellington Heights.

I'd like to know HOW a neighborhood can STOP the crimes??? Especially when weapons are involved. I told an officer about drug deals going down all the time right by the substation they put in and am told that the police department was short-handed and were aware of the problem but there wasn't much they could do unless they caught them in the act.

I recall the day I was on my way to work and had to stop for one of these inspections (by Taylor school). I had no idea what was going on ahead. I thought they were looking for an escaped criminal. If I had known, I would have gone a different way. I'm glad I didn't have to punch in to work or I probably would have been a few minutes late. Next time I see a bunch of squad cars, I'm going a different direction. My car had been crunched and the cover was broken over the turn signal and I was told to get it replaced. I never did. I put red tape over it...lol. Anyway, I wish they'd focus on the drug dealers. I see exchanges almost everyday IN THE HOOD.

Yes we do....you have to have a gun registered and now you can actually carry your gun...they changed the law..not sure if it is in effect now but I think it is.

Actually, Ron Corbett had a good idea but just several...several years too late.

I totally agree. Why bother?

I still think it is a big mistake to close a main artery (2nd Ave).

That would be interesting. I had a post in here about this project but they didn't print it and I didn't use obscenity or anything. I just think this is not "DEMOCRATIC" to allow only the council to make this decision (about closing 2nd Ave). I think the entire community should have a say and vote on this.
