Congrats! I've live here my entire life, and I have never had an issue. My house is between Ocean and the Blvd, and my block is usually quiet and safe and my neighbors are wonderful. I also have a large dog, and I think that is the biggest crime deterrent you can get. Bayside park is just beautiful, and we had a historic walking tour of Bayside Cemetery yesterday. It was amazingly beautiful.

I feel like I know you in real life :)
That place is awesome. And inside it's clean and everyone that works there is super friendly. I am glad we went with them for lunch.

We are also hesitant of the government getting involved, but unfortunately, we can't change the zoning ourselves. That's the beauty of this event: to make a plan that is entirely driven by the community.
That's awesome about Woodlawn and Ocean! I've lived here my entire life, and I really feel like things are starting to get better for the first time. user1111 wrote: Quote:

Thanks for posting this, user1111!!!
As of now, Ocean Ave is zoned as residential (it was changed from a business zoning to residential in the 70s when the population of JC began to decrease), so if someone wants to open a small business there, they have to jump through all sorts of hoops to make it happen. There is a new fruit and vegetable market opening soon on Danforth and Ocean, and it took them a long time to do it. That should not be the case and we want to make our neighborhood more walkable and friendly to small business. Ever since we started talking to the planning department about having Ocean Ave zoned back to a business district, two different people have come up to me personally to say they would love to open up a small coffee shop and an art gallery/framing place, and would seriously consider it should the zoning rules allow it. This would help out the businesses that are already there as well (some examples: Casa Latina - awesome food, an organic dry cleaners, Lou's Diner, a pharmacy that's been there for decades, etc). I'll post the information about this event below in case anyone is interested: The South Greenville Neighborhood Association has planned this event. It will be on May 30th from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm at People's Tabernacle of Worship church on the corner of Ocean and Danforth. The task of this community gathering is to co-create a vision for Ocean Avenue redevelopment (from Merritt Street to Cator Avenue) that incorporates what the community wants to bring to life in this section of the neighborhood, as well as what it does not want. In a structured, facilitated approach, we will share ideas and wishes for the neighborhood that honors the values of all the diverse residents and those who work there. The diversity is rich and valued ? all genders, age groups, ethnicities, economics, workers, with a range of diverse issues, such as having a community center, re-establishment of the library, preservation of historic buildings and fixing other buildings, continuing the clean up of the street scape, and more. During the day, we will be working in small groups so that everyone has an opportunity to contribute and we can avoid individual grandstanding. Coffee and donuts/rolls will be served in the morning and lunch at about noontime. Free of charge ( small contributions will be accepted at the event to offset the cost.) Mayor Fulop will stop by. If you would like to attend, please register here:http://www.eventbrite.com/o/south-gre ... ion-8149733574?s=38133010

The South Greenville Neighborhood Association would like everyone to know that it is not acceptable, nor moral, for a person or company to decide to transport garbage through residential areas without protections in place to ensure the health and welfare of our residents. This trash will be transported in very close proximity to Curries Woods, the townhouses on Catherine Ct, P.S 40, P.S 30, and several other schools. In some areas, the rail cars pass within 25 feet of residential homes.
The reason why the host community gets a fee for this is because there is a risk involved with being the host. Note that the agreement says ?host community? and not ?host city?. Note that Greenville is the host community, not the heights, which is entirely on the opposite side of the city. There is no benefit to our community whatsoever. We want to know if the rail cars will be sealed both on the way out and on the way back, as they smell whether garbage is in them or not. We want to know how much the rail traffic will increase, and during what times. Will there be an increase in noise when kids need to wake up for school? What are the plans in case of a flood? derailment? fire? rodents? We are working to get answers to these, and many other questions. Ward A is not filled with people that are going to sit back and accept such treatment.
