Criminal complaints for the paired blockfronts are shown in Table 5, below.62 <br />TABLE 5 <br />CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS ON "PAIRED" BLOCKFRONTS <br />Study Area <br />Complaints on Control <br />Blockfront <br />Complaints on Paired Survey <br />Blockfront <br />Study Area 1 <br />10 <br />7 <br />Study Area 2 <br />10 <br />16 <br />S tudy Area 3 <br />99 <br />47 <br />Study Area 4 <br />8 <br />2 <br />Study Area 5* <br />23 <br />....................................................................................................................................................................................... <br />6 <br />49 <br />1n <br />Study Area 6 <br />0 <br />0 <br />*Two control blocks were chosen for the study area; the area spans approximately one mile, and the character <br />of it changes. <br />In Study Areas 1, 3 and 4, there were more complaints noted on the control blockfronts <br />compared with the survey blockfronts. However, in Study Areas 2 and 5, more complaints <br />were noted on the survey blockfronts compared with the control blockfronts. In Study Area <br />6, there were no complaints on either the control or survey blockfront. <br />Other land use related criteria could affect the analysis. For example, the location of the <br />paired control and survey blockfronts was analyzed for proximity to transportation facilities <br />such as subway stations and limited -access highways. These facilities bring concentrations <br />of people into an area, and by doing so may affect the incidence of criminal complaints. In <br />general, the blockfronts located closest to subway stations and a limited -access highway ramp <br />had more criminal complaints than blockfronts located farther away. Excluding from this <br />analysis one of the paired blockfronts in Study Area 5 that is distant from subway access, and <br />Study Area 6, because there were too few complaints to consider, the analysis found that in <br />each of the other study areas the number of criminal complaints was greater near transpor- <br />tation facilities, notwithstanding the location of an adult use. <br />°' Due to limitations in reported data, in Study Area I — where the complaints were generally listed by street <br />intersection rather than by blockfront — 25th Street was chosen for the two survey blockfronts and 2151 <br />Street was chosen for the two control blockfronts. <br />56 EVER00154 <br />
