Violent Crime/Safety Issues on Dresden Drive

My husband and I witnessed a violent crime outside of our home on Dresden Dr., directly in front of J. Christophers. It was 8:30pm on December 22, 2013. A man was attacked by three African American men, who stole his phone, jacket and a gift he was carrying for his wife. They punched him, broke his nose and threw him against the hood of a car parked in front of J. Christopher on Dresden.
My husband and I called the cops and did what we could to make the attackers leave. Eventually it worked.
Please, please be very careful on Dresden and around this growing area! Be aware of who is around you.

Furthermore, be cautious when walking, running or driving. We have also seen many, many pedistrians get hit on Dresden. They are overpopulating this street with condos and apartments, causing more and more accidents.

Does anyone know what the plans are for widening this road? At some point it will have to be done.
