Neighborhood Concerns
Residents of any neighborhood may share many of the same concerns and fears. These may be issues of:
Safety. For example, residents may be concerned about drug use, vandalism, violent crime, or their children’s safety both in and out of school.
Noise. Unwanted noise can include loud music, automobiles, motorcycles, off-road vehicles, loud talking or arguments, barking dogs.
Neighborhood appearance. Problems may include graffiti, abandoned vehicles, run-down buildings or property, litter, overgrown vacant lots.
Traffic and parking problems. Some neighborhoods have so much traffic that travel is slow going and parking is difficult to find. Other neighborhoods may suffer from high speed commute traffic, where drivers are taking alternative routes to avoid congestion.
