At its November meeting the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council voted to approve a boundary expansion to include land ceded by the Northwest Neighborhood Association.

The NWNA was not seeing any representation from this peninsular area on their southern border and felt that this was because it was a more natural geographical fit for Emerson-Garfield.

Starting from the intersection of Fairview and Ash, the rough boundary continues west to Cochran, southwest across the Meenach Bridge, further south along the Pettit Drive Ridge (aka Doomsday Hill) to Indiana, then east on Indiana to Belt, and finally Belt north to Fairview. A map of the area is above.

To all the home and businesses (including Pete’s Pizza) that now find themselves within E-G’s expanded borders, welcome to the neighborhood!
