Community Traffic Alert for October 1st
Community Traffic Alert for October 1st: Most of the main streets within East Beach will be closed on Saturday, October 1st to facilitate the St Mary’s 5K and 1K Runs. The run flyer states that the streets will be closed starting at 6 AM Saturday morning and stay closed until the run activities are complete. The proposed street closures include Pleasant Ave and 30th Bay, which basically blocks BBP. Discussions with City of Norfolk Police resulted in the following traffic work- arounds for our community: departing vehicle traffic should use Pleasant Ave to 29th Bay then 29th Bay to Pretty Lake Ave then Pretty Lake Ave to Shore Dr and arriving vehicle traffic should use Pretty Lake Ave to 29th Bay then 29th Bay to Pleasant Ave then Pleasant Ave to BBP. Plan on using these procedures all morning and expect minor delays between the hours of 8:45 am until about 9:45 am when crossing 30th Bay and Pretty Lake Ave (Norfolk Police will be controlling traffic at the intersections of Pleasant Ave/ 30th Bay and 29th Bay/Pretty Lake Ave) .

Make Your Home or Business
Less Appealing to Burglars
Homeowners and business owners can reduce their vulnerability to burglary by making sure they have done all they can do to give the appearance of a property that practices good security measures. Deter potential burglars by making it as hard as possible for them to gain entry in your home or business.
Consider these target-hardening suggestions:
Lighting: Ensure that all entry points to the building are properly illuminated. Leave enough interior lighting to detect movement, and make sure blinds or curtains do not prevent detection of activity from outside.
Doors: Check for signs of weakness. Use updated, heavy duty locks that are in good working condition.
Locks: Make sure all doors, windows, and skylights are secured with the best possible locks. No lock is burglar proof, but the harder it is to gain entry, the longer it will take, which increases the chances of a burglar getting caught.
Windows: Secure windows in such a way that they cannot be easily defeated from outside. Make a habit of checking all of your windows on a daily basis. Burglars will look for open or unlocked windows. Businesses should keep valuable merchandise away from windows to prevent “smash and grabs.”
Alarm Systems: Install an alarm system. Research alarm companies and the types of alarms that fit your needs and budget. If utilizing an alarm system, post signage stating that the premises is protected by an alarm system.
Another suggestion is to schedule a free security survey for your home or business by contacting the Norfolk Police Department Crime Prevention Section at 757-664-6901. An officer trained in CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles will conduct an inspection of your home or business and make recommendations that can help make your building safer.
