A Billboard to Lure a DPD Substation

Business owners near the Dallas Farmers Market want a police substation so badly, they’ve put up a billboard asking for one.
The billboard which says, “Support your Dallas police. We need you here,” is at the corner of St. Paul and Cadiz streets in downtown Dallas.
A group of area business and property owners say they are tired of the constant crime in their neighborhood.
“Constant vandalism, property destruction, harassment, theft — we see constant drug transactions, prostitution,” said Tanya Ragan, who owns a building on Park Street. “I mean it’s ongoing, every day.”
Property owners say the crime had caused their property values to plummet.
“These property owners in this neighborhood have become very, very frustrated with what they’re dealing with on a daily basis due to The Bridge,” Ragan said.
