Bulk is Back!
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced recently that citizens can again call 311 to schedule bulk trash collections. The Bureau of Solid Waste will resume bulk collection services starting Monday, August 2. The Bureau of Solid Waste has worked to reroute and make bulk service more effective and efficient. Route changes may mean new bulk collection days in some areas. Residents are asked to schedule their collection and confirm the date with 311.

The Next COP walk will be on Monday August 2nd at 7pm.

Meet at the Riverside Park gazebo.

WE ALWAYS WALK WITH A POLICE OFFICER!
but we must have at least 5 community members from the scheduled
neighborhood or the walk will be canceled and the officer/s sent back "in-service".

Join us for a social at 6:30 - we will have food provided by a new place in our neighborhood called Fat Erics!

Of course during the meeting we will have our usual committee updates.

We found out last minute that the Southside Marketplace owners, Regency Centers, are planning to do renovation to the Shoppers and other shops in the shopping center. This was halted from going to planning review and approval because Regency had not met with the community.

Representatives will be at the June 28th meeting to present their plans. Please be sure to be at the meeting, especially if you live near the center.

Mark you calendar with these dates for summer concerts!

Hello all,

Just a reminder that our usual monthly meeting will be Monday April 26th at 7pm. Hope to see you there.

A reminder that this Saturday, April 17 is the Mayor's City-Wide Spring Cleanup. In addition to cleaning up within the park, we'd like to clean up the streets around the park and in the rest of the neighborhood. Although the park cleanup is beginning at 8:30, you can show up anytime after then - any help is much appreciated.

We have requested a dumpster from the city, but do not have confirmation yet on whether it will be available.

If you cannot make it to the park to join the group, please spend some time on your own block cleaning up. Grab a few neighbors to help you.
