WHO WE ARE
Our members are residents, businesses, and visitors to the West 80s
who
want to:
- Preserve the wonderful character that has made living in the
West 80s
so desirable and distinguishes our neighborhood from
the rest of
New York City,
- Make sure the construction in our neighborhood is safe and new
buildings fit in with our Upper West Side aesthetic and community
feel,
- Protect affordable housing and keep local "mom and pop" stores
in the neighborhood,
- Get the MTA to improve subway and bus service and safety in
our neighborhood,
- Obtain community support for issues related to our local business,
- Help keep the crime rate in our neighborhood low,
- Join and support our effort to beautify our neighborhood (planting
flowers, eradicating graffiti, reducing litter and more), and
- Make a difference about neighborhood issues that affect us and
our families.
Together we can improve our community from the grass roots.
We are inspired by the work of Friends of West-Park, the
Coalition for a Livable Westside, the West End Preservation Society
("WEPS") and other civic-minded groups.
We believe we can improve our neighborhood by meeting with elected officials,
our Community Board, our local police precinct, and by networking with other
non-profits, neighborhood associations, and NGO's whose missions are also
to improve NYC.
PLEASE HELP BY JOINING TODAY.
Togther we can make our fabulous neighborhood even better.
