The perfect storm is coming to Lowest Greenville this summer

Which neighborhood association is YOUR voice at City Hall? Are they speaking for YOU?

An association with a “take-no-members-who-disagree with the status quo” attitude and a vision for Lower Greenville that is petrified pre-1990 and includes tumbleweeds blowing happily and silently down the avenue.

• Opposes Resident Parking Only. Why? Keeping most of the chaos confined to the streets south of Belmont Avenue will keep the chaos off their streets north of Belmont Avenue.
• Delivers 5,000 newsletters on dead trees every two months, generating 114 lbs of solid waste. Content is “feel-good” only, not serious news. Website is a placeholder, not service-oriented.
• Crimewatch for hire only. Their crimewatch members do not monitor activities on Lowest Greenville Avenue without police escorts.
• Suppresses breaking alerts from police, like reports of serial rapists in the neighborhood (March 2007), because “it’s bad for business.”
• Number of paid members: Not known. Sources of income: Not stated. Amount in treasury: Not published. Expenses: Not known. Board Policy: Not explained. Association Bylaws: Confidential.
• Opposed the implementation of the Lower Greenville Land Use Study and its plan for positive changes over a 20-year time span.
• Works to protect businesses north of Belmont Avenue while ignoring the rampant crime and disruption in areas south of Belmont Avenue.
  

An association that has a progressive, proactive, protect-your-quality-of-life-no-matter-what attitude and a positive vision for Greenville Avenue.

• Covered the neighbors’ expenses for Resident Parking Only – $7,000 for petitions, signs and hangtags – on 12 streets between 2007 and 2008. On-the-street crime dropped 40% in less than two years on these RPO streets.
• Online and on-call 24/365. BelmontNA has an active website, emails newly-breaking DPD crime alerts to members within hours as well as neighborhood news reports every weekend.
• Crimewatch volunteer with multimedia gear on Greenville Avenue most weekends, assisting, reporting and sharing information.
• DPD offense reports for our neighborhood are updated daily, crime alerts are emailed immediately, weekly summaries on Sunday.
• Maintains open lines of communication with the majority of business and property owners on Lowest Greenville Avenue.
• Conducts business transparently by posting checkbook and membership counts online. Decisions are based on the residents’ needs, not on the Board of Directors’ preferences.
• Promotes a vision for Lowest Greenville that is open to progress and in sync with its changing character and growth.

The mission of the Belmont Neighborhood Association is to protect the quality of life for all our residents, without discrimination or bias.

The residents of our quarter-square-mile of Lowest Greenville should be represented by people who live here, not people who live nearly a mile away and a group that ignored our issues for nearly ten years.
