Have you heard of CAN?  Have you been to a meeting?  CAN provides a way for neighborhoods to come together and share information and concerns and facilitates dialogue with the City.  In March there was an excellent meeting with the City on Planning and Zoning. This Monday May 13th, the topic will be Traffic with traffic engineer Jeff Moore and a presentation from Judy Daniel on legislative action to limit local control of residential development.   Both are important issues for our neighborhood so please try and attend.  Click here to see the agenda, directions, and questions submitted so far.  You can also link to CAN wiki to get regular updates.
