What have we accomplished?
With the help and support of hundreds of residents we have accomplished a lot in the past year (2008)!
· We worked with City Council, Mayor, and City Attorney to keep 120 ft Cell Tower out of our residential area (in favor of commercial & industrial areas). · We helped develop a new ordinance guiding the placement of cell towers. · We initiated a traffic calming study for Sunderland and Averill streets in response to resident concerns. · We improved safety and access by cleaning up AverillPark and Woods. · We obtained graffiti removal kit to use as we monitor our public park. · We partnered with other neighborhoods to improve the city. · We’re working with Lansing Police Department and LansingSchool District to deter crime.
