Croissant Park Neighborhood Meeting -February 22, 2022

 Croissant Park Neighborhood Meeting-February 22, 2022

Hello Neighbors,

—Our February CPCA meeting was attended by six Board members and approximately 30 people from Croissant Park and neighboring Associations. The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance. 

—FLPD Officer Pena is the afternoon beat officer for CP. He reported that crime was down 40% in 2021 until now.  For January and February, a neighbor’s motorcycle was stolen. There were petty thefts, one being a garden gnome stolen from a yard. 

There is a “Safe Zone” designated in front of the Police Department on Broward Blvd.  This is where you can safely meet up for transactions with people you might be buying or selling items on Craig’s List, for example. 

Ofc. Pena urges people to report any loud parties in AirB&B rentals in CP.

—Our speakers tonight were Adam Schnell and Christopher Cooper from the Department of Sustainable Development, and Ella Parker from Urban Design and Planning. They outlined the SRAC (So. Regional Activity Center) proposal for an affordable workforce housing corridor between Andrews Avenue, FEC Railroad, S.R. 84, and Davie Blvd.

A lively Q&A followed with various comments about the density and height issues.  Many are concerned about our property values and congestion.  If you want to voice your concerns you are urged to attend Planning and Zoning meetings.  The next P&Z meeting will be at City Hall on March 16th. We need representation at these meetings.

—Our next CPCA meeting will be on Tuesday, May 31st at 7pm in the CP Community Center. We hope to see you there.
