Enough! Jefferson Park takes a stand against 138Kv poles on Vine or Park! Unfortunately other historic neighborhoods need routes that negate our better options. We continue discussions with them.
"No 138Kv poles in residential neighborhoods or our Federal Historic Districts"

More Greening in Jefferson Park |
|
A velvet mesquite, a screw bean mesquite and two Gregg's ash trees have been planted by the Jefferson Park Green Committee in the right of way by 1047 E Waverly. Drive by and see the new additions!
With the help of a jackhammer volunteers planted the trees on the east side of the home. Shade will come soon!
Our intrepid Green Committee is committed to greening the neighborhood. Headed by Joan Hall, and with the help and advice of TDOT, trees are acquired and planted according to City protocol.
Let Joan Hall know if you have a "right of way" that you would like planted, 520-990-8054. More shade, more birds!

A new twist to the UA Hotline
Got a "Thank You" note!
|
|
|
|
Early one morning I found a slew of plastic cards dumped to the curb outside my home. Including among the medical and insurance cards was a wildcat ID. I notified the
UA hotline 520-282-3649
The UAPD contacted the student. I left the cards in an envelope on my front porch...and surprise! The next morning on my porch was a lovely thank you! Had to share! (J. Daniels)

RECENT RESPONSE TO SEPTEMBER ILLEGAL GATHERING
From a neighbor: " Julie Katsel of the U of A called me last night and explained how the party at Seneca had been tackled. There is a dedicated police car ready to respond to parties. In this case, I noticed how quickly it appeared after the music volume was turned up. The officers closed the party down, put red stickers on both houses, and referred the matter to university authorities. The students who organized the party will be meeting with the Dean of Students for disciplinary action."

Still Time for the Census-Workers knocking on doors |
|
THERE'S STILL TIME TO COMPLETE YOUR CENSUS FORM - It's been extended until the end of October! With all that has been going on in the United States lately, you may have pushed aside the reminders to complete the required U.S. Census, but there's still time. Responses help determine the number of seats each state has in Congress and guide how nearly $700 billion in federal funding is spent in communities each year. It’s estimated up to $3,000 per person, per year is at stake for Arizona. The answers are kept anonymous and are used only to produce statistics. Starting this month, census workers will be knocking on doors of homes from which they've received no response. Census takers will wear masks and follow local public health guidelines when they visit. Follow the links below for more information.
