Gogo's take on STRATA
“Go with care. The modern residential complexes and medical developments provide a secure atmosphere during the day, but high rates of opportunistic auto theft and vehicle break-ins affect area parking facilities. Visitors should remain aware of their surroundings after dark along adjacent commercial corridors and transit nodes.”
