March 2015 North Precinct Advisory Council Minutes

This month’s guest speaker, who was going to give an update on the status of the design and build of the new North Precinct headquarters, had to cancel, so we’ll get an update another time.

The good news is that north precinct auto thefts and car prowls are down compared to Jan-Feb last year. Residential burglaries are down 8%.

The bad news is that street robberies and assaults are up. Many robberies are of cell phones. These two problems will be a focus in the north precinct. Five robbery arrests were made in thirty days.

The noise ordinance is taken very seriously by SPD. Don’t hesitate to call 911 if you are bothered by excessive and inappropriate noise.

You can read all the minutes here.

CenturyLink Adds More Non-Pinehurst Neighborhoods for Gigabit

Gigabit Internet continues to expand to more neighborhoods in Seattle. Pinehurst still isn’t one of them, unfortunately. But it’s good to see continued progress. We’ve recently helped organize a lunch and learn and forum on Municipal Broadband and talked about Condo Internet who is also building fiber to the home options in other neighborhoods. A local group, Upgrade Seattle, is forming to help push for better options as well. Sign up to hear more.

http://www.geekwire.com/2015/centurylink-exceeds-initial-estimates-expands-seattle-gigabit-internet-to-five-more-neighborhoods/

Last August, CenturyLink committed to bringing the high-speed access to 35,000 Seattle households with an announced launch in Ballard, Beacon Hill and West Seattle. By December, the gigabit service was available to nearly 22,000 customers in Ballard and West Seattle.

Today, CenturyLink Vice President of Operations for Washington State Sue Anderson said they’ve passed the 45,000 mark for household access in those initial three neighborhoods. Up next are the neighborhoods of Green Lake, Delridge, Rainier Valley, the Central District and the International District.

District 5 City Council Candidate Forum March 11

Broadview Community Council, in association with the Greenwood, Haller Lake, and Pinehurst community councils, is presenting a candidate forum for Seattle City Council District 5. The next election will be the first time seven of the nine positions will be tied to a geographical district instead of to Seattle as a whole. District 5 runs from Puget Sound to Lake Washington, from 145th St. to roughly 85th St. See the official map for details. As you can see, Pinehurst is in District 5. Two of the nine positions will remain at-large.
