Community Safety Forum - Castro

I attended Community Safety Forum for the Castro, Eureka Valley, Duboce Triangle, Corona Heights and Corbett Heights last night at the Eureka Valley Rec Center.

This meeting was certainly different from the meetings I recently have attended in the Mission and Excelsior District - it was nice to hear positive news about crime issues and the excellent community support in the area. The meeting was chaired by Scott Weiner:
