Mission:

Our neighborhood has a flourishing Community Garden. Recently a group of neighbors secured funds for a new play equipment for the play area at Lyons Center. We are in the process of becoming a neighborhood watch area in order to reduce crime. We also have started contacting negligent landlords to pressure them to clean up unsightly properties.

Our current goals are to identify and eradicate blight and to try to get Lyons Center and its field reopened.

Current Priorities:

• Blight and Code Enforcement
• Law Enforcement
• Quality of Life, Preservation, and Zoning
