Two new neighborhood surveys are now online and ready for your input. One deals with general neighborhood issues, identity, and improvements. The other focuses specifically on shopping and small businesses in Emerson-Garfield.

Residents of Emerson-Garfield as well as neighborhood business and property owners are encouraged to fill out both surveys. Your input is essential and will help influence the decisions that are made regarding future funding, planning, and development.

When you’re finished, be sure to sign up for our e-newsletter! We hope to tell you about the results of the survey in a future mailing.

The e-newsletter is also one of the best ways to stay on top of neighborhood news, events, and opportunities — and rest assured that we’ll never give out your e-mail address or send more mail than necessary (usually just once or twice a month).

Oh, and please spread the word to your neighbors and fellow E-G residents through Facebook and Twitter. We need help getting the word out so we can collect as much feedback as possible.

Last but not least: Don’t forget that we have a public planning open house tonight from 6 to 9pm at 1905 N. Monroe. Everyone is welcome!
