Dear Darrell and Kim, I am emailing you today to let you know that I do not support the creation of a new police station at 21st and Diamond, in the heart of the diamond st historical district. There is already a police station just a few blocks away on Montgomery. The people of Philadelphia say no to backroom deals between city council and the historical commission. Stop the over-policing of North Philly. When you meet to discuss the issue of Friday, June 12, I urge you to say no. loud and clear. Thank you, Jacob Al-Dookhi, North Philly Resident https://outlook.office365.com/mail/deeplink?version=2020060101.15&popoutv2=1 1/1 6/10/2020 Mail - Kim Chantry - Outlook Deny New PPD Station in Diamond Street District!

I am reaching out today in regard to the request for the Philadelphia Police Department to build a brand new station in the Diamond Street Historic District. In light of recent events, and the push to dismantle and re-imagine the police department as we know it, I would like to voice my concern on this initiative. I believe it would be a very negative disruption to our community if this new station were to be built, especially being placed in a historic & black neighborhood. "Diamond Street District exists because of the population boom in Philly during the 1850s. All of the elaborate structures, including Second Empire and Victorian rowhomes and Gothic Revival churches, were built between 1875 and 1897, namely for the "new rich" of North Broad. Per the nomination, "The row houses and churches of Diamond Street represent one of the most grand and stylistically intact avenue of Victorian architecture in the City of Philadelphia." Can I count on you to help deny this proposal and retain the dignity of one of Philadelphia's historic districts? Thank you! Best, Brian Yansak https://outlook.office365.com/mail/deeplink?version=2020060101.15&popoutv2=1 1/1 6/10/2020 Mail - Kim Chantry - Outlook No Police Station in the Diamond Street Historical District Olivia Wojtkielewicz <[email protected]> Tue 6/9/2020 10:11 PM To: Darrell Clarke <[email protected]>; Kim Chantry <[email protected]> External Email Notice.

Hello Darrell and Kim, I am a lifelong Philadelphia resident urging you to deny the PPD approval for a new station in the Diamond Street Historical District. The Black community of North Philadelphia will only be negatively affected by the heightened police presence that this station would create, and the money set to go toward its development should instead be reallocated to strengthen this community.

This email comes from outside of City government. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender. Ms. Chantry, My name is Jacqueline Wiggins. I am a long term resident of North Central Philadelphia. I also serve as a committee person for the 32nd Ward-11th Division. I am extremely disturbed by the development to place a new police station for the 22nd police district at 2100 Diamond Street for these reasons: 1-The boundaries of the 22nd Police District are from 10th Street to 33rd Street and from Popular Street to Lehigh Avenue. My understanding is that this new site for the 22nd police district has been discussed with only one RCO, St. Elizabeth. Residents of the 22nd police district nor any other RCOs were notified of this development, thereby limiting discussing about this critical development. One RCO's call for safety cannot be the "only" voice to be heard. 2-Rather than build a police station, we are in need of human value things like decent, livable, and affordable housing. A few amenities like a community room at a police station are not enough for what our neighborhoods need and demand. In addition to housing, we need school facilities free from asbestos and other harmful physical issues that interfere with the learning process for our children and youth. Too many of our schools are simply environmentally unsafe. 3-Diamond Street is in what the Historic Commission has determined as the "Diamond Historic District." Whatever happened to the words "architectural integrity"? The 22nd police district is located in the 5th Councilmanic district where all matter of construction due to gentrification has and is occurring. A police district in a historic district is simply not a rational fit for the families of the area: elders, mothers, fathers, children, and youth. 2100 Diamond Street is not the place for a police station in my estimation. Please do not give Final Approval to this application. Thank you!

Hello Kim, I am asking you to please vote "NO" on building a police station at 21st and Diamond streets. This is a historical section of Philadelphia and we do not need more police presence in this city. Say no to backroom deals.

This email comes from outside of City government. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender. Hello Ms. Chantry, I am reaching out to you in response to the Philadelphia Police Department's request to establish a station in the historic Diamond St. area of Philadelphia. As a resident of Philadelphia, I am encouraging you to deny the PPD their request. Recent events across both our city and our nation have shown that increased police presence does not make residents safer. Also establishing a new station in a historic district can give the false presentation that the police presence has always been there which is not accurate. In order to maintain the integrity of the district, I ask that you deny this request and continue to preserve the Diamond St. historical district as it currently stands. Please be transparent in your negotiations with the PPD and publicly share the details of any negotiations as this will go a long way in repairing trust between residents and those in power who help preserve and shape our city. Thank you for your time. I sincerely hope you deny the PPD's request and do not approve a new station. All the best, Samantha Whalen https://outlook.office365.com/mail/deeplink?version=2020060101.15&popoutv2=1 1/1 6/10/2020 Mail - Kim Chantry - Outlook Police station huston west <[email protected]> Wed 6/10/2020 7:56 AM To: Darrell Clarke <[email protected]>; Kim Chantry <[email protected]> External Email Notice.
