Get Involved
Committees work with a board member chair to manage long-term projects and initiatives. If you have a particular concern about something in the neighborhood, please contact the chairperson listed below. New volunteers are always welcome if you would like to help!
Zoning and Codes
Educate neighbors about building and zoning laws that protect the livability and historic character of the neighborhood, and how violations can be reported to the city. Coordinate efforts to represent the neighborhood at public hearings for code variances or changes. Contact Martha Stinson at marthastinson3@gmail.com.
Streets
Work with Metro departments to improve safety on our streets and sidewalks and to promote their usability by all. Contact Lee Vinson at w.lee.vinson@gmail.com.
