Victory Heights Park Upgrade Project

Victory Heights Park (1737 NE 106th St) to our south is scheduled to receive a major upgrade. Seattle Parks and Recreation is in the planning phase of this $893,000 project, and the park’s designer is eager to work with the public on design. If you would like to have input, you can start by taking a survey here.

The work will include installing updated play equipment and improving access to the play area. The play equipment will include play structures and seating accessible to children of all ages and abilities, and also other elements for play.

The website for the project is here, where you can learn more about the project’s time frame and upcoming meetings.

An open house is being planned for mid-December. Keep your eye on the Victory Heights Blog for details.

North Precinct Advisory Council Minutes – October 2015

This month we didn’t have a guest speaker. Instead, North Precinct Captain Sean O’Donnell gave an expanded report about the goings-on in the NP. Summer’s over, and as usual crime has decreased some. But currently, crimes against persons are more frequent than crimes against property.

The good news is that 45% of the crimes against persons involves people who have some relationship with each other – in other words, not random. Also, some of the crimes against persons are due to what would be shoplifting turning into assaults when shop personnel accost shoplifters and it turns into a tussle.

Car prowls are down 17% in September, and cars theft are down 42%. Please please please report car prowls so police get good statistics on this. More and more, police departments are using data-based policing techniques, which rely on analyzing 911 calls and other collected data, including geographical information. If we want more police emphasis where the problems are, we need to be sure the police know where the problem areas are.

Read the meeting minutes here. There’s a report describing the investigation and arrest of 20 open air drug dealers in the U District, and more news for the North Precinct.
