A substation at the very least would help deter!

The county and ACPD need to do more to keep Green Valley residents safe and put a stop to the violence.

As more & more of us local citizens are retiring we especially feel vulnerable where the heightened crime is concerned. Please more more law enforcement, with respect to fellow citizens. Thank you...

We shouldn't have to petition to have a safe and clean neighborhood, but South Arlington does not get the support it should from the Arlington Government!

This has been going on for far too long. We need ACPD, the Arlington County Board, Manager, and APS to make real efforts to help the neighborhood become a safe and clean place for our children to learn.

Please help us create a clean, drug-free, and crime-free neighborhood. Our children deserve a safe place to grow and build a bright future.

As we design new park amenities, I’m hearing from kids that they’re not permitted to play in the park due to their parents concern over illegal activities and safety issues. This is unacceptable. All our kids should be free to play in their neighborhood park. We can all use the park in a manner that is positive and welcoming!

Our kids came to play soccer in this area one day only to realize there had been a shooting 30 minutes before they came. I heard report of a neighbor who lives in the Shelton who's car was vandalized. There was a shooting during a Drew elementary outdoor movie night.

Keep the area safe and clean. Allow the children to enjoy a peaceful place without fear of walking around.

Though I do not live in Green Valley, I consider the residents there my neighbors. I stand in solidarity with you on this issue!

Regular patrols would positively change the reputation of the area near the Town Square, and both dissuade future illicit and untoward activity from going on AND encourage more of the neighborhood to frequent the park and square. While the County may not have the means to continually provide regular patrols, hopefully the combination of the above for a set period would lead to less and less need for regular policing over time.

This area needs to be safer for families and children. Police and County need to address constant public drinking, public drug use, public urination, and blocking sidewalk access

It’s time! We need a community center in GV so our kids and seniors can have somewhere to go and congregate. The issues we are dealing with would NEVER happen in North Arlington or anywhere else. GV residents deserve the same. AHC has to ensure that the residents of the Shelton are respected in the same manner as their tenants at other AHC properties: repairs, proper management, enforcing lease terms, trash removal, etc. It’s time! Abandoned and neglected buildings breed crimes and other safety concerns. Operators and owners need to be held accountable as well.
