LGNA’s Most Valuable Asset

The Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association has been described as one of the most active neighborhood associations in the city. That activity would not be possible without the scores of volunteers who donate their time and talents to help LGNA thrive.

For example, did you know that each issue of your LGNA newsletter is produced by volunteers? All the articles are written by several volunteers. The professional-looking layout is accomplished by Tim Evans, volunteer extraordinaire. More than 30 volunteers hand-deliver the newsletter to your doorstep six times a year.

Stray Animal Control

January’s Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association meeting featured Marcialyn Banks, Educational Training Coordinator from the city’s Animal Services department.

How it works: Ms Banks explained that animal-related calls to 311 are treated by priority. Cruelty to animals or suspected rabies cases are given high priority, for example. Individual stray animal reports are given lower priority because by the time an investigator responds to the call, the animal is usually gone from the reported site. The city has only seven officers in the field during the day and fewer officers at night. The city currently has two animal pounds, one in Pleasant Grove and one in Oak Cliff. These two facilities will soon consolidate to one new location in Oak Cliff. Continue reading “Stray Animal Control”

Neighborhood Alley Clean-Up

Sparked by the initial Crime Watch alley clean-up project, area resident Jim Sorg recently coordinated neighbors to clean the alley in the 5900 block of Belmont.

Almost a dozen folks, young and old, showed up to help remove brush and trash. Other neighbors cleaned up their properties prior to the event in response to the flyers handed out in advance. The event ran from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and a few even worked later cleaning up loose ends. Continue reading “Neighborhood Alley Clean-Up”
