I was really upset by an article in this week's New Haven Advocate (June 3) that describes our neighborhood in a very negative light. The best way to solve our problems is to get more good people to move into this area--and that's not going to happen if our public image is mired in stereotypes. So I sent a letter to the editor (see below). I hope others do the same.

Traffic control, specifically speeding, has been a priority for the CSNA. I read with interest an article published in WSJ concerning the issue of mature citizens, their driving abilities, and associated travel expense. I thought this article, which I have attached, might be an interesting resource to the community in relation to our concerns about traffic. This article might also be of interest to those grappling with the issue of driving and aging parents.

Hi all,

I just posted a request for more trash bins in the park at SEECLICKFIX. I participated in a neighborhood cleanup last Saturday, and part of the problem is there are no bins for folks to put trash esp. at the southern end of the park. Pleaes go to SEECLICKFIX and add your name to my request. Maybe if more people ask for this, we will finally get bins

Thanks

Christel
