Philadelphia’s stepped up weekend police presence didn’t convince all young people to obey a crackdown on the city's 10 p.m. curfew.



Police reported a dozen minors were cited over the weekend for being on the streets after midnight.



On Monday, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and District Attorney Seth Williams announced the city’s holistic approach to stop what the mayor called intolerable behavior that has serious consequences.



"We need to send a strong, unmistakable and clear message that our city, our neighborhoods even parts of Center City are places that people can bring their families, enjoy themselves and have a good time without fear or cause for concern," said Nutter.



First, the mayor announced the city's targeted recreation center hours will be extended to 10 p.m. to provide supervised, safe places for young people to gather.



Two city neighborhoods have been targeted for stepped up curfew regulations, including a 9 p.m. curfew for anyone under 18 on Fridays and Saturdays. The affected communities include:

Center City, from Vine St. to Bainbridge and river to river; and University City, from Market St. to Baltimore Ave. and 38th St. to 43rd St.
