Comments from Charles Samuels, current FDA President
Role and Responsibility

 

Krista Mathis Samuels asked that members get involved and participate, that every member’s involvement is crucial to the success and on-going betterment of our urban neighborhood. Mr. Samuels asked members for feedback regarding their priorities for board initiatives. Members suggestions included:

  • Now that lighting is on the way, can we improve/maintain sidewalks to make this truly a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood
  • All members should take on the initiative to participate in litter pick-up, etc.
  • Once the gas line project is concluded, can we expect that the streets will be resurfaced
  • Trees need to be limbed up to take advantage of existing light and to make signage visible
  • Establish a program to encourage residents to keep sidewalks clean and a PR effort to ask neighborhood visitors to support our efforts
  • Place additional street trash receptacles
  • Promote a tree well program; some are too hard to dig, some are filled with stumps, etc.
  • Partner with developers and development to attract more ownership
  • Establish a block captain program
