The Friends of Jefferson Park and the Union Hill Civic Association will hold a joint meeting this Wednesday, November 28 at 7PM at Cedar Street Baptist Church, in the fellowship hall (23rd Street entrance). The agenda includes reports on and discussion of ongoing neighborhood improvement initiatives and holiday activities. In addition, the Study Group for the Union Hill Old and Historic District will also give a report.

Lora Toothman reports that at the last Union Hill Civic Association meeting, the group decided to target specific areas of the neighborhood for attention from the city, and to coordinate requests for maintenance for those areas so that many people request the same action items at once. The hope is that the city notes the influx of requests for the area and fixes those problems. The first area chosen is immediately around the triangle at the intersection of 23rd, Jessamine and Cedar Streets.
