Walking the (Public Safety) Walk

Wednesday afternoon I went on the North Cambridge Community Safety Walk. Not a huge turnout of residents, but I think it was helpful for those able to attend. It was definitely useful for the city officials who were there -- we were able to identify some potential troublespots or areas needing attention. I'm putting in council orders for this week requesting some additional police emergency call boxes, a stop sign, better enforcement of parking regulations to keep open fire lanes and repair of an unsafe utility pole.

Walking through parts of the neighborhood with community members is a vital part of community policing. Thanks to Commissioner Haas and the many members of the Cambridge Police Department and Cambridge Housing Authority for taking the time to hear and respond to residents' concerns.
