Neighborhood Meeting

Some time ago I attended a local neighborhood meeting. The mayor and several other city officials were in attendance. This was a great opportunity to learn and discuss issues in our neighborhood. We talked with Wade Raab who is in charge of the Neighborhood Preservation Unit. We had the opportunity to ask the mayor questions. The meeting also presented the chance to meet neighbors that I had not met before.

Here is a sample of some of the topics discussed:

• beautification of a local street
• tennis courts located at two of the schools in our area
• a neighborhood service project planned for July
• a crosswalk on a busy road
• traffic lights
• round-abouts
• re-paving roads

Thanks to Wayne and Chris Tobler, the Neighborhood co-chairs, Joyce Johnson, Mayor Washburn and others who made this meeting possible and so successful. I hope to have more of these in the future.
