Are you interested in meeting with DPW and BTD?
The City is holding neighborhood forum with neighborhood leaders and the Chief of Public Works and Transportation and members of their staff. At these forum meetings, we will discuss “related issues”, including recycling, street sweeping, snow removal, trash, sanitation, road construction, etc. It looks to be partially informative, to let us know what the rules are, and part interactive to get feedback and ideas.
In an effort to get more ESNA members involved in the NA, I’m asking if anyone would like to join me and participate in these meetings. This is a chance to get more involved in the neighborhood goings on, and to interact with city leaders. If interested, you would need to commit to the Last Thursday of every month, beginning this week through June.
Please let me know if you’re interested, and I can pass on the agenda and discuss the meetings with you.

Trash pickup times
A reminder to everyone, Trash pickup can begin as early as 7am on trash day. People have gotten used to later pickups, and this past Monday people ended up putting trash out after collection had happened.
Please remember to put your trash out early on day of pickup. And remember, if you put the trash out at 10am, and you're the only bag left on the street, you may have missed them...
