We had a great day at the Market today. Since we didn't have access to a community booth at the Market we made our own spot working out of the back of one of our car's - old school, grassroots style. It's amazing that in just 1 weeks time how many of you had heard about us or have already visited our blog - thank you. Many of you eagerly grabbed the pens out of our hands before we could even talk. Tomorrow our group will be attending the Montavilla Neighborhood Assoc and we are asking them to please back the petition. However in talking wiih many of you in Rosewood or South Tabor, Lents, Mount Tabor, etc - we have stressed & will push that all of the affected Neighborhood Assoc to unite since 82nd Avenue's crime is a ripple effect.
Just wanted to remind you that you can still download the petition here (click), along with the handout - click here and gather signtures yourself just email us & we can arrange for pick up. Thank you again.

Thanks for putting together this effort. The Roseway neighborhood is located in close proximity to many of these issues.
We are a group of residents of the Southeast area in both Montavilla and Mount Tabor that are deeply concerned about the recent changes to our community. We have noticed a blatant increase in several types of crime (prostitution, drug activity, etc) surrounding our neighborhoods and centering on 82nd Avenue. We urge all to join us & get involved to take back our streets. To make our schools & parks clean and safe from dirty needles & used condoms. We will be working with the Neighborhood Associations, the city, local businesses, churches and you to help find solutions to these problems. At the heart of the issue is that the Prostitution Free Zone was abandoned last Sept 2007 and since that time organized crime has made our neighborhoods into a turf war. Please help us, thank you.
