The Georgetown Police Department held several meetings in local neighborhoods this past summer.
To say this is something that should be done elsewhere is disingenuous to say the least. Let's give everybody credit for trying to solve a problem.

They sell crack on G street. Why don't you do something about that?

Paige, you are doing an outstanding job. That's why we voted you back in. If people spent as much time trying to solve the problems as they do on e-mail just to get their name in the paper,Georgetown would show a little progress.
You are one of the city officials who care about Georgetown.Keep up the good work. See you at the meeting.

Speeding and stop sign running are definitely a problem in the historic downtown. You can find a speeder almost anytime you look. Georgetown is not safe for children and can even be scary crossing the streets with all the stop sign runners. I yelled at a lady, as a pedestrian, during the Boat Show for running a stop sign near our house, she apologized and then went on to run the next one. I slammed on my brakes and honked at another last weekend. Only the police have the power to get these arrogant wreck-less drivers under control. But then again, will they? Do they really even care? Do they really want to help improve our town and make it safer?

Paige can't seem to do anything about speeders on Highmarket, Prince, St James, etc., etc. However, doing what he is doing keeps his name in the paper. Reminds me of Obama and his meetings and summits to solve problems... NOT!! Paige is presenting himself as the savior ...

Is there anyone living in the area with a criminal past? When did all this start?

With all due respect, Paige, there are other areas of the city that need such meetings - in the neighborhoods - to address these types of issues. There's no mention of planned meetings after the one in this story. I am hoping for such action in my neighborhood: Bayview. My family and I encounter speeders all the time, some of which don't bother to even stop at the stop sign.
The renovations at the park here are in jeopardy because people actually drive right up to the playground equipment and leave their cars there. I have called the city police twice for this.
I do hope that other meetings will be planned in the future, and that other council members will initiate the process.

Why are you having this meeting at the Georgetown City Police Department? This is a neighborhood problem and should be held therein. Probably another one of Paige's stupid suggestions.

Here it comes Georgetown. Big money taking over again. First we had to have a boat landing at maryville bridge then Parks & Rec. just bought 30 acres of land on 521. I wonder how long it will be before East Bay Park is taken away from the public so some Rich person can build condos on this prime property.Another landmark we need to protect not give away for development and our grandkids not be able to enjoy it. I understand the concerns but we need to protect East Bay park.
