"Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered, as a matter of course, just one kind word to another person." ~Mr. Rogers
Who are we?
Each Neighborhood Association is a voluntary association of residents and businesses, recognized by the City and created to provide opportunities to focus on: crime prevention, community gardens, clean-up projects, traffic safety issues, sidewalk improvements, bicycle access ways, trails and parks, noxious weed abatement, fire protection plans, and more. Whatever type of construction project is proposed, collective voices from a Neighborhood Association can make a change and have positive influence. We encourage residents to come together to invest in the long-term livability of our neighborhood, community and city.

Neighborhood Associations also have direct contact with City staff and council. Residents can learn about process through a Neighborhood Association and follow city protocol to express opinions.
