Vicki Lynch reported on the Security Patrol.
• As of January 31, 2023 the SP has 303 members.
Seven FLPD officers led by Lt. DeAnna Greenlaw
provide 32 hours per week of patrol.
• In the seven months since the SP began operation,
Part 1 crimes have decreased 38.33%.
• The only month-over-month statistic available shows
a reduction from eight Part 1 crimes in January
2022 to three Part I crimes in January 2023. These
numbers will be updated and reported in the
magazine regularly.
• Paige O’Mahoney is launching a membership
drive in March and requests interested residents
please volunteer as Block Captains.
• Officer Victoria Rodriquez of the newly formed
FLPD Community Support initiative is the Direct
Point of Contact for residents needing to report
ongoing problems in the neighborhood. Issues
such as panhandlers obstructing traffic, graffiti,
vagrancy, traffic problems and homeless
encampments can be emailed to Tim who will
compile them and send them on to her.
Tim reported on perennial traffic problems in
CRCCE. The 25 or more access points into the
neighborhood, popular destination points such as
Cardinal Gibbons & the Country Club, cut-through
traffic to avoid major roads and speeding are long
term problems that the Board has been working to
mediate. The Master Mobility Plan authored and
paid for by the city provided the template for action
that has been taken thus far. The improvements
on Bayview Dr will result in a complete roadway
with appropriately sized and dedicated lanes for
pedestrians, bikers and vehicle traffic. Ben Rogers
from FDOT reported that the installation of rubber
speed bumps on internal is complete and equal in
serviceability to concrete speed bumps. Stop signs
