The review served as the basis for the CPTED review.
ANALYSIS
The analysis looked at the following elements of
the site and the surrounding neighborhood:
1. walkways/sidewalks,
2. landscaping,
3. parking,
4. lighting,
5. trash,
6. play areas,
7. infrastructure and site/land use.
We looked at the general community character as well as the
community edges. We made an assessment of each residential
and commercial building type from their structure and the
condition of the site.

The computer modeling used for this public housing site and the
surrounding community helped to confirm the problems of poor
site access for police and residents.
The results obtained from the computer and the on-the-ground
analyses was used to recommend continuing the street grid
system through the public housing site. This site layout would
help to reestablish the natural street pattern.

We worked closely with law enforcement and the community
residents to help us identify neighborhood crime generators
and "out of area" offenders.
As with other CPTED projects involving public housing sites,
police had a difficult time responding to calls because the site
layout did not carry logical street address numbering. In addition,
perimeter fencing restricted police access by both automobile
and foot.
RECOMMENDATION
The final design recommendations were praised by local police
because it would help them respond to calls more effectively.
Replacing the public housing buildings with single family detached
housing would also help remove the stigma associated with the
existing public housing site.
