Doggie Bag Dispensers Damaged

MORE VANDALISM — UPDATE AS OF 9-2-2010

Another box was distroyed behind Bloom.  Hopefully the vandals have gone back to school and have better things to keep their attention now.  But keep on the look out and report this activity to the police if witnessed.

Two doggie bag dispensers on the bike path were damaged sometime last night.  The one near Hatton St. was broken off the post and destroyed and the one near Bayberry St. was split down the entire side.  Attached are pictures of the damage.  It is too bad that certain individuals have not been taught to respect the property of others. The City will be notified for repairs.

Please remember to call 911 if you see a crime in action and call 385-5000, option 1, to report crimes after they have occurred or to report any suspicious activity.

Bike found during beach clean up.

“Lynnhaven Colony Congregational Church, UCC, found a multi-speed bicycle when they cleaned up for the Clean the Bay Day (June, 2010).  It was found in a ditch along the neighborhood of Lynnhaven Colony.  If anyone is missing a bike and can describe it, we would love to reunite it with its owner.  For more information, please call Chris Cohoon 816-9566.”

national night out in virginia beach

 

On Tuesday, August 3, 2010, communities nationwide will be celebrating the “27th Annual National Night Out.”  The goal is to (1) heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, (2) generate support for and participation in local anti-crime efforts, (3) strengthen neighborhood and police community partnerships, and (4) send a message to the criminals that neighborhoods and the police are united in fighting crime.

Some of the neighborhoods participating in Virginia Beach are:

1st Precinct – Lotus Creek, Ocean Lakes, Red Mill Farm, Shire Village (Buckner Farm), South Shore Estates, Southgate, and Villages at West Neck.

2nd Precinct – Atlantis Apartments, Baycliff, Croatan, Rudee Heights, Seabridge Square, Southall Quarter, Waldon by the Chesapeake, and Wolfsnare Plantation.

3rd Precinct – Bishops Gate, Chesapeake Beach, Cypress Point, Diamond Springs/Gardenwood Park, L&J Gardens, Lake Shores, Little Creek, Summerset Lake Condos, and Thoroughgood Colony.

4th Precinct – Bellamy Plantation, Commons at Princess Anne, Driftide Condos, Fairfield Forest, Framingham Village (College Park), Green Run, Kempsville Lake, Liberty Ridge Townhomes, Salem Woods, and Tivoli Apartments.

Most events begin around 6:30 p.m.

Even if your neighborhood is not having a planned event, we encourage all of the citizens of Virginia Beach to get out and send the message that we are fighting back against crime and drugs.  Leave your porch lights on all night to show your support!

2nd Annual Independence Day Paddle Board Thank You and Pictures

Big ginormous Mahalo to all who competed in the event. Everyone paddled hard, exhibited great sportsmanship and filled the beach with Aloha. Thank you so much for making my fledgling event a success for the 2nd year. 

If anyone is interested in their paddle time, just send me an email.  Special thanks to all the volunteers and to Freedom surf shop, Tula Adventure Sports and to Mule Transport Systems. The free swag was much fun to pass out. Thanks again everyone. I look forward to next years event!

Shoulder paving to begin from Beech to Kendall on south side of Shore Drive – Monday July 19th

According to City Traffic Engineer, Mike Shahsiah, the shoulder paving project commencing today, Monday July 19th, should take 1 to 2 weeks to complete (Closer to 1 week without weather delays).

The project will add a 5-6 foot section of shoulder paving along the south side of Shore Drive from the sidewalk at Bloom & Beech St. to Kendall St.  The existing pavement from Beech to Wake Forest (and a few other small sections) will be milled and paved.  Areas without existing paving will have new pavement added.  These areas are mostly between Wake Forest and Kendall.  After paving is complete, both shoulders (north and south) along Shore Drive will be striped to show a 3-4 foot bike area.
