Wood St is a designated bike route in Chicago's bike plan. This proposal would upgrade bike infrastructure from Chicago Ave. to Ellen St. by adding protected two-way bike lanes for a full mile on this street. Wood would be changed from two-way to one-way (northbound) to accommodate these bike lanes and preserve residential parking.

None of the money would be spent on police, there was a suggestion on FB that over 1600 cameras and motion detection lighting could be purchased with the funds. But you are saying a one way street will be a deterrent to these type of robberies? The will still be two sides of parking on Wood, could be walking to the bus.
"A Chicago man is recuperating at a local hospital after he was shot during a robbery in the city’s West Town neighborhood early Sunday morning. According to Chicago police, the 35-year-old man was walking to his vehicle in the 700 block of North Wood Street at approximately 12:30 a.m. when he was approached by a white sedan. A man then got out of that vehicle, pointed a gun at the victim and demanded his backpack. The suspect then shot the victim in the arm, and fled the scene with the backpack, according to police. The man sustained a gunshot wound to his arm during the robbery, and was taken to an area hospital, where he was listed in good condition."
