Fix My Street Form

Posted on by

To report a street in need of repair, complete the Fix My Street Form. Click on the link below to print and fill in the form. Email the form to info@walnutbendno.org.

 WBCA Fix My Street form

If you have pictures of the street please include those with the form. We will collect the forms and build a consolidated report to submit to 311, the City’s Public Works Department and Councilmember Nadine Ramsey’s office.

It seems to be more effective when a neighborhood focuses its efforts on one street at a time. While we are completely aware that there are many streets in need of repair within Walnut Bend we need to start our efforts somewhere. The WBCA Board of Directors will review the forms submitted and select one street that will be our focus as we discuss the issue of street repairs with the city and our elected officials. The Board will select the street that we’ll focus on based on:
1) Number of PAID Walnut Bend Civic Association members residing on that street
2) Number of forms submitted on the same street
3) Safety/Poorest condition of street.

 

Neighborhood Watch Training – May 20 – June 4

Posted on by

Walnut Bend is again part of Neighborhood Watch!

To be a part of the program, residents must participate in training that covers a multitude of topics, including how to successfully recruit and organize, form partnerships with local businesses and civic organizations, and the best methods for recognizing, observing and reporting, criminal activity to the NOPD.

To successfully complete the program and be certified, attendees must be present for all classes and upon completion show they were able to institute the program in their area. Neighborhood Organizations who are successfully certified are eligible to receive two complementary Neighborhood Watch street signs, courtesy of the Fraternal Order of Police.

If you volunteered for Neighborhood Watch via Nextdoor, or are just interested in knowing more about it, attend the following sessions at the Algiers Regional Library:

May 20 (Small Conference Room)  6:00-7:00

May 27 (Small Conference Room)  6:00-7:00

June 3 (Large Conference Room)  6:00 – 7:00

June 4 (Small Conference Room) 6:00 – 7:00

The classes are approximately 40 minutes. Please be prompt.
