The CWE Cocktail Party Returns Tonight!🍸

If you’re heading to the Central West End this evening, please plan ahead and allow extra travel time.

Euclid Avenue will be closed to vehicular traffic between Maryland Avenue and McPherson Avenue from approximately 12:00 PM to 11:59 PM to accommodate event setup, the Cocktail Party, and teardown.

Event hours are 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM.

Drivers should expect increased traffic and use alternate routes around the event area, including:
• West Pine Boulevard
• Lindell Boulevard
• Kingshighway Boulevard

Whether you’re attending the event or simply traveling through the neighborhood, please be patient, follow posted signage, and watch for pedestrians.

2025 Camera Projects By The Numbers 🎥

NSI’s camera network continues to play an important role in supporting public safety and assisting investigations throughout the Central West End and participating districts.

In 2025:
• 145 camera reviews were conducted
• 64 arrests were connected to camera review investigations
• 54 active camera sites supported neighborhood coverage

These efforts help improve situational awareness, assist law enforcement investigations, and strengthen overall community safety.

Technology, partnership, and proactive response continue to be key parts of NSI’s mission to help keep our neighborhoods safe. 💙

🚗 Reminder: Prevent Car Rummaging

We’ve seen an increase in vehicles being rummaged through. A few simple steps can help prevent this:

- Lock your doors, even for short stops
- Don’t leave valuables inside (including fi****ms or medications)
- Stay aware of your surroundings

If nothing is missing, there’s no need to file a police report, please report it to NSI so we can track patterns.

If items are stolen, contact non-emergency police at 314-231-1212.

Small steps can make a big difference. 💙

One year ago today, a tornado came through the city of St. Louis, damaging much of Forest Park, the Central West End, and North City.

🚲💙 CWENSI Outreach is proud to once again partner with the Bike Rehab Ministry of Manchester United Methodist Church, helping connect individuals in need with reliable transportation.

Through this partnership, donated bikes are matched to individuals based on their specific needs, including proper sizing, and every bike comes with a brand-new helmet and bike lock.

Recently, our outreach team helped a gentleman whose previous bike had been stolen, leaving him without transportation to work. Thanks to this collaboration, he now has a new bike that allows him to get to work and pick up extra side jobs again.

The NSI would like to inform residents and visitors that a funeral service will be held at the Cathedral Basilica for Officer Triplett, who passed away in the line of duty.

Service Time: Monday, April 13 at 10:00 AM

Please be aware that Lindell Boulevard and surrounding side streets may experience temporary traffic delays and closures as police manage the procession.

We encourage everyone to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and use alternate routes if possible.

Our thoughts are with Officer Triplett’s family, friends, and colleagues during this time. 💙
