<strong>Hull</strong> <strong>Street</strong> <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Revitalization</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
goals <strong>and</strong> objectives<br />
When: Sidewalk construction should begin within three years <strong>and</strong><br />
be completed within eight years.<br />
Goal 3: Create a community where both local residents <strong>and</strong><br />
individuals from the metro Richmond area feel safe during both the<br />
day <strong>and</strong> night.<br />

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)<br />
principles.<br />

decrease the potential for criminal activity to occur.<br />
• Objective 3: Hire private security to patrol commercial locations<br />

Why: Increased security will make shoppers feel safe at night.<br />
It will also deter criminal activity. Merchants have noticed a<br />
decrease in customers after dusk <strong>and</strong> an increase in crime.<br />

throughout the City <strong>of</strong> Richmond <strong>and</strong> Chesterfield County.<br />
Who: City <strong>of</strong> Richmond Architectural Review Board <strong>and</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning<br />
Department, Chesterfield County Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning, <strong>and</strong><br />
Chesterfield Police CPTED planners<br />
When: CPTED guidelines should be continually incorporated into<br />
all physical improvements made to the corridor.<br />
• Objective 2: Increase police presence.<br />
Why: The increase <strong>of</strong> patrols will make residents <strong>and</strong> shoppers<br />
feel safe. It will also deter criminal activity.<br />
Where: Along the <strong>Hull</strong> <strong>Street</strong> <strong>Road</strong> Corridor <strong>and</strong> the surrounding<br />
neighborhoods.<br />
Who: City <strong>of</strong> Richmond Police Department <strong>and</strong> the Chesterfield<br />
County Police Department.<br />
When: Increased police patrols should begin within one year.<br />

presence<br />
• Objective 4: Develop community programs for neighborhood<br />
policing. This includes setting up a neighborhood watch for the<br />
corridor <strong>and</strong> surrounding neighborhoods.<br />
Why: Educate the public on how to reduce crime in the area <strong>and</strong><br />
the importance <strong>of</strong> being proactive. This will aid in decreasing<br />
both crime <strong>and</strong> the fear <strong>of</strong> crime.<br />
Where: These programs should be developed for the corridor<br />
<strong>and</strong> for the neighborhoods adjacent to it.
