Activism North Of Lawrence....

  • There's a meeting tonight at Ald. Smith's office (5533 N Broadway) from 6-7pm to discuss crime issues coming from the CHA properties at 5053 & 5057 N. Winthrop.  Representatives from the CHA, the police, and Alderman Mary Ann Smith's office will be there.  "Please come prepared to discuss the situation and offer ideas. We need as many neighbors as possible to come and discuss so we can circumvent a major problem before summer arrives."

  2. In regards to Mary Ann's meeting tonight, it went pretty well. Basically, the CHA is committing to 24x7 armed guard security (Kate's Security) on foot at 5053 & 5057 N. Winthrop. Cameras are supposedly on their way. Residents will now be required to check-in and check-out. Entrance from the rear of the property will be restricted. Background checks will be performed on all tenants before we meet next month. We are meeting again on May 20 @ 6PM at 5533 N. Broadway to see if the changes are working. Commander Bartosik is aiding the fight to control the CHA. Thanks to everyone who came out tonight --- let's keep the fight going!
