Neighborhood Association
Neighborhood Associations increase opportunities for citizen involvement and greatly increase communication between the local government and its residents by providing a clear and organized way for residents to speak to their city government.
Formally recognized and developed Neighborhood Associations can provide recommendations to their local government on a variety of topics, including:
- Neighborhood streets, traffic control and patterns
- Parks and open spaces
- City services
- Budget
- Crime prevention
- Capital improvements
- Land Use (zone changes, variances, subdivisions, zoning ordinances)
Tips For Organizing A Successful Neighborhood Association
Neighborhood Clean-up
Organizing a neighborhood clean-up is a wonderful opportunity to get to know your neighbors and beautify your neighborhood at the same time.
Neighborhood Clean-up projects can involve many types of public spaces- parks, riverbanks, schoolyards, sidewalks, playing fields, and even parking lots.
The appearance of a neighborhood matters to people who live, work, play and vist the community on a regular basis. Clean communities = safe communities.
