Town watch is fine but I still don't understand why bike police patrols have been discontinued in this area. Many years ago the community contributed $6000 to equip three police officers on bikes. They were based at the Police Substation at Chester and 47th and they were extremely effective in patrolling the immediate neighborhood. Now they have been moved to the area close to UPenn, leaving us without that protection.
