Kudos and Updates

First, let's thank everyone for remembering to keep the neighborhood clean. Also, let's thank both Senator Taylor and Richard Badger for informing us of the job fairs and entrepreneur events.

We would also like to thank the City of Milwaukee's Neighborhood Improvement Service and The Department in charge of taking care of street repairs for patching up the potholes in record time this week.

We would like to thank the Milwaukee Police Department for their frequent tours to prevent crime and the fire department/paramedics for their rapid response to our emergency events (births or health issues).

I am aware that many of us had water in our basements and I understand your frustration when cleaning and seeing the never ending water. The City has in place something for those who suffered sewage backup. There is a number or website (milwaukee.gov/backup) for you to visit to request an assessor to visit so that a claim may be filed. Your property is inspected for validity and assessment of damages.

Remember to check with Alderwoman Milele Cogg's website for any updates about the district.

See you at the next clean up.

Moving Forward

Hello Everyone,

We are moving forward. We had a successful meeting in June. We were able to establish some networking with individuals from Ashanti Hamilton's district. We exchanged ideas about monitoring the neighborhood and getting rid of any illegal activity. We also discussed combining some meetings to provide greater solidarity.

We want to thank those of you who ordered the dumpster. We also encourage everyone to call regarding potholes in the streets or alleys. Keep in mind that an entire alley cannot be replaced but potholes in the alley can be filled without additional costs to the property owners.

In addition, please remind all of your visiting friends of the noise ordinance and general neighborhood policies.

Email with any concerns. Neighborhood clean up to occur in two weeks. Career fair July 9th at 7101 W. Good Hope.
