The St. John’s University Community Dialogue Group gathered on Nov. 25 for their bimonthly meeting at the University Center conference room at 6 p.m., identifying safety concerns in the Hillcrest area that affect both students and local residents. Representatives from Community Board 8, St. John’s Department of Public Safety and the offices of local elected officials collaborated on possible solutions to these recent safety matters. For the past 25 years, St. John’s staff and community members have met to discuss a host of pertinent issues including safety, housing and transportation as well as upcoming neighborhood and University events. The most recent meeting focused on traffic violations in the neighborhood and concerns for the safety of both students and residents.
