Fall Beautification

It's fall again! Come join Norwood neighbors for a September Spiff Up (date and time TBA soon). Let's hear your Quality of Life concerns and changes you would like to see in the community. Together we can make our streets safer and cleaner.


September's agenda includes:


1) Beautification. A neglected street encourages vandalism and litter. With NNA'S fall spiff up, our streets will look cared for and visitors will be more likely to respect our blocks. NNA made a start on 36th Street (see photos below) on cleaning up tree pits. Working together we can make a huge difference and feel proud of our neighborho0d.

  • 2) Quality of life issues: with the influx of 30th Avenue nightlife, noise pollution (at 3, 4 and 5 AM), vandalism, reckless speeding and trash thrown on our streets have been on the rise. We need to work with our precinct and elected officials to address QOL issues. These problems will not go away and will only get worse until we have an action plan. Together we can do it!
A sad block
A happier tree!

Check out NNA's Spiff Up sneak preview: a little effort makes a huge difference! Weeds and trash were removed, dirt raked through to take out glass, old batteries and debris. Then the stones were swept up! Our trees are happier, our blocks look cared for and our neighborhood is a more welcoming place for all.
