The recently formed Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design committee held its first community meeting on Wednesday.
Improving Peace Park was the focus of the meeting and was hosted at the St. Andre Aporte Roman Catholic Church, which was well attended by residents of North Battleford, according to a City of North Battleford press release.
One foundation of CPTED theory is engaging residents and working together to find solutions to improve an area. That foundation is leading the CPTED committee to work with residents of the neighbourhood surrounding Peace Park.
The City reports the committee was pleased with the neighbourhood engagement at the meeting, leaving with a multitude of suggestions from residents on how to improve the area.
The City has already taken measures to improve the park by trimming trees to improve sight lines and has had preliminary discussions with SaskPower to increase lighting.
