Rosemont Plaza Design Workshop Set for Tuesday, April 16

April 15th, 2013 by Lee Ruiz (President)

A public workshop considering the design for the new Rosemont Plaza will be held on Tuesday, April 16 at the Kidd Springs Recreation Center, 711 W. Canty, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The Rosemont Plaza will be a key gateway to Winnetka Heights at the junction of Davis, Rosemont and Seventh Streets.  The design will consider elements of Heights Garden park.

All Winnetka Heights residents are encouraged to attend and share their views on this important project, the first new public space design in Winnetka Heights in a generation.

Let’s help keep Winnetka Heights a safe place to live!

The North Oak Cliff United Police Patrol (NOCUPP) is a non-profit neighborhood organization dedicated to improving public safety in our area. NOCUPP officers patrol the streets and alleyways of Winnetka Heights, investigate suspicious persons and vehicles, and quickly respond to crimes in progress. More than 470 arrests have been made since the program began in 2007.

Check out the statistics here.

Membership is only $1 per day, payable either in a six-month or full-year subscription. As a member, you will receive many benefits including vacation watch, direct access to officers via the NOCUPP mobile phone, alarm response and more!

Subscribe today. Or if you’re already a member, be sure to renew your subscription before it expires! Remember, the number of patrol hours depends on the number of people who participate. More participants means more hours of coverage.

Want to learn even more about the NOCUPP program? NOCUPP officers will be offering a FREE question and answer session to Oak Cliff residents at Turner House on Wednesday, April 24 at 7 p.m.
