As our Northwest area prepares for the upcoming Clean Sweep and other beautification projects, the Lyell-Otis Neighborhood Association would like to ask for your hand…<\/p>\n

\"Lyell-Otis<\/a>
\nLyell-Otis Neighborhood Association (LONA) \"external<\/a> will need extra help to clean-up and plant flowering seeds at our four area parks\/playgrounds. We also want to begin to hold some musical evening events in our parks this summer: like having a small band (like a quartet, or students, perhaps) play for an hour while families\/community members enjoy a picnic dinner, or even have some food trucks there as well for culinary variety!<\/p>\n

\"Lyell-Otis<\/a>
\nLONA is also attempting to develop our section of the historic Erie Canal, and would love input from area young professionals who have a passion for history, and who are interested in helping establish a new business district, like a “Schoen Place” for the Westside. We are starting with a simple vision, but I have confidence that if we can get the right people on-board, this project could be truly special.<\/p>\n

I’ve also created the Lyell Avenue Neighbors facebook page \"external<\/a> as a way to connect the many neighborhoods that all meet at Lyell Avenue. <\/p>\n

This is a page that allows networking, and small business promotion, as well as provides for a more interactive, real-time crime stopper, neighborhood watch effort. <\/p>\n

We encourage community members to support one another, by keeping each other – and the RPD – aware of suspicious\/illegal activity, like the problem of copper piping being removed\/stolen from area homes, for example, or of any attempted break-ins or stolen car incidences.<\/p>\n

\"Lyell-Otis<\/a>
\nThe Lyell-Otis neighborhood is ready to turn the corner to become the next coveted area for those young professionals looking to purchase a starter home, as current home prices are accessible to many. The convenient location is super – being close to stadiums, expressways, and downtown events, and the potential is great to rebuild our area in the same manner that Corn Hill was transformed just a few decades ago.<\/p>\n

As you know, many hands make light work, so feel free to share our Facebook page \"external<\/a> with others, as that is the best way to get timely updates regarding our projects and events. <\/p>\n

We look forward to working with you all to make improvements here in our terrific city!<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nPamela Davis \"external<\/a><\/p>\n
