A Letter from Councilmember Dwaine Caraway
Mayor Pro Tem
Dear District Four resident:
I hope you had a great holiday season. As we enter 2009, I continue to strive to make District Four the best in the city.
While you may see me working with our Mayor on large projects on behalf of the entire city, we have not lost sight of our mission to improve District Four “One Block at a Time.”
To bring the development that District Four deserves, we must continue to work together and clean up our neighborhoods. From clean-up days to increased code enforcement, our efforts are making a difference.
All over the District, I have been working to clean up crime trouble spots and remove blight from neighborhoods. In October, we celebrated the demolition of the motels on Lancaster Road that are next to our District.
As promised, I have worked to create the Convenience Store Crime Ordinance. The ordinance requires stores to be more visible from the outside by reducing window-covering signs, and allows police to enforce loitering laws outside of stores. I have also been proactive in talking to storeowners in our District, and many have removed unneeded signs ahead of the enforcement date. This ordinance will prevent crime at these venues and reduce blight.
We are currently drafting a new multi-family crime ordinance, which will increase safety within apartment complexes throughout the District and our city.
As we move forward, we must continue to work together to improve our District. More than ever, I need your help.
Let’s continue to work together to make District Four the best in the city.
Best Regards,
Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway
