Revamping the Hills District- Group Project

The Hills District has been the topic of many of the residents’ conversations as of late.  There is a realization that the area is an unsafe and deprived area of the city.  It is often unsafe for residents of the area to travel within the district after a certain time, and the area has served as a hub for crime in the past couple of years.  However, there are now attempts and measures that have been taken in hopes of revitalizing the Hills District that wish to bring the area back to its former glory.  My group hopes to tackle the issue that deals with the safety of the area.  The Hills District serves as a crime hub for most of downtown Pittsburgh, despite the fact that there exists a police station with the heart of its main street.  My group is devising a plan that would improve the safety of the area for all of the surrounding residents.  We believe that one of the best ways that we could do this is to bring in a form of media that would assist civilians in directly contacting the authorities should something criminalistics take place.  Although our plan is still in its developing stages I remain certain that we will be able to devise a plan that can be implemented in order to better serve the Hills District.  I hope that our solution to the problem will be something that can be brought to the forefront of solutions to the crisis in personal security that is currently occurring within the Hills District.  Our issues have been discussed by residents of Pittsburgh, newspapers, online editorials, social media websites, radio, television, and far more mediums than previously mentioned.  It’s time that change be brought to the Hills District in order to provide a safer life for the residents.
