Chief Thorp asked
me to relay the following message regarding some questions neighbors had about
road closing and police presence. Please feel free to distribute this throughout your own communication channels.
"You may be aware
that the building at 7501 Maryland is being used for various activities by the
Clayton Police Department. Because of this, you may see an increased police
presence nearby. The Police Department did go door to door in the area to
let the neighborhood know they would be using the facility, but we may have
missed some of you. In addition to the use of the building, the city does
anticipate temporarily making some of the roads in this area local access only,
but you will still be able to get in and out of your homes.
As you have
probably heard, there are other traffic and parking changes in downtown
Clayton. We will continue to communicate about overall issues through
these updates, on claytonmo.gov/news, via Twitter @cityofclayton and on
Facebook at City of Clayton, Missouri. Any updates or changes regarding
your neighborhood will be sent just to you. We are doing everything we
can to minimize any inconvenience will still taking every step possible to
create a safe environment for our community through the demonstrations that we
can reasonably expect, and therefore these steps are prudent.
As
always, thank you for being a part of Clayton."
