At our last membership meeting, the SANA board and membership discussed the draft report issued by Congress Park Neighbors (CPN) Safe Streets Committee following their work with a traffic engineer and a series of meetings aimed at improving pedestrian safety in Congress Park neighborhood.

The SANA board has attended the committee meetings and has raised significant concerns in response to several of the committee's traffic calming proposals, which we fear could lead to increased traffic along 7th Avenue Parkway.  

We need your help. First, we ask all interested members to read the draft report, below, and to provide us with your feedback or concerns through the survey, below. Second, we encourage all interested parties to attend the CPN Safe Streets committee meetings, which take place the third Monday of every month (details below.) Together, our voice will be louder and our message coordinated.

You can always contact us directly at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely, 
​Your SANA Board

Hello SANA members:

Mark your calendars! On Thursday, May 16th from 5:30-7:30pm, Congress Park residents will be meeting at the multi-purpose room at Carla Madison Recreation Center to review and discuss the proposed East Central Neighborhood Plan.  This may be our only chance to meet with the city as a neighborhood - all future meetings are large workshops that include the 6-neighborhood planning area. 

If you have questions, concerns or comments about traffic, safety, neighborhood preservation, BRT, growth or green infrastructure, please attend this meeting. Numbers matter! This plan will describe our neighborhood vision for the next 20-30 years.  We look forward to seeing you there.
