Neighbors,
Below find the agenda for our Ward 1&8 NPA meeting next week. We had hoped to continue the discussion of our neighborhood's housing crisis, but ran in to scheduling issues, so we will start by meeting our freshly elected councilors and commissioners and asking our newly and not-so-newly elected city councilors how to improve ongoing communication between Ward 1&8 residents and our councilors. We will then be talking about several issues - sidewalks, Great Streets Main Street, The Barge Canal. Join us in person in the Sharon Bushor Room on the ground floor of City Hall, or by Zoom. We look forward to getting together!
