Monthly PNP Meeting
A back-brief on what happened last Tuesday.
The regular monthly meeting of the Pueblo Neighborhood Partnership (PNP) was held at Hyde Park’s Community Center.
The discussion revolved around what objectives we, as a group, wanted to work towards this year. Those neighborhoods that were present all seemed to be interested in traffic issues in one form or another. There was also a considerable undertone of frustration with the city on addressing such concerns.
Based on this, I think one of the goals the organization should set for itself should be addressing these concerns to the City Fathers in an organized manner.
This discussion seemed to fall right into an activity that Heather Norton has been working on regarding Neighboring. She gave a short presentation on the topic at the meeting, after the neighborhoods had addressed what was of interest to them.
Based on what I’ve seen of the Neighboring program, it looks like it could provide useful information on how to get more people interested in working to improve the area where they live in a number of ways. And, considering the frustration I heard, it might also be a means of motivating people and also the City Fathers to do something.
As an additional item, next month’s 2010 Commission is going to want to hear from each Task Force what it’s goals are for 2006. This will probably be one of those goals.
I’d like to hear from other neighborhoods as to what other goals they’d like to see the partnership address this year. This forum is open to comments from them….
