In an effort to make it harder to deal drugs in the community, a North Hills citizens group today plans to seek community support for a proposal that would make sections of Orion and Langdon avenues into one-way streets. The one-way proposal will be discussed at a 6 p.m. meeting of the North Hills Community Coordinating Council at Langdon Avenue Elementary School at 8817 Langdon Ave. An earlier meeting, to discuss ways to fund education and crime-prevention programs, is scheduled for 11:30 a.m.

"I'm very pleased that the barriers are finally coming down," said Alarcon, who proposed the barricades' removal.
