After noticing a rise in crime and desperation at the corner of I35 and St. Johns, I reached out to Officer Hyatt and Officer Haverland of APD, and urged neighbors to as well. In response, APD agreed to start trying to figure out how to reduce crime there. I then reached out to the St. Johns Neighborhood association and Councilman Casar to see if we could work together to come up with a longer term solution that could possibly more holistic than just arresting people.

This discussion, led by Councilman Casar, will hopefully be the first step in trying to transform that corner and the area in general so kids at Webb/Brentwood can get to school safely, people getting gas or groceries at the stores can feel safe, and neighbors feel safe in their homes up and down the entirety of St. Johns.
