Our Precinct #114 Community Council met September 22nd, 7Pm at Ricardo's. The meeting was very informative and encouraging. A Norwood Neighborhood member attended and spoke with Precinct #114 Executive Officers, Deputy Inspector Vorbeck, Captain Tarantola (traffic safety) and Lieutenant Morrales (Special Forces; crime) about the chronic Quality of Life issues Norwood residents' have been facing. Late night noise disturbances, fighting and brawls, vandalism, public drunkenness and speeding cars on 36th Street have been cause for concern and safety to all residents.
The Officers were very receptive and will be conducting hot spot investigations in our neighborhood. Captain Tarantola said the Precinct is trying to get a speed bump installed on 36th Street to slow traffic down and make our streets safer.
The Officers will be giving a follow up report at next month's
Community Council meeting.
Deputy Inspector Vorbeck was pleased and rightfully proud to report that Quality of Life complaints and crime in Astoria are down in comparison to previous years and that Astoria is a much safer community. Norwood residents look forward to working with our Community Board and Precinct #114 to ensure Norwood residents' share in this welcome trend.
