We now have a Business Safe Streets Group to help us fight the problems we are having in the community with drug, gangs, and prostitutes. Their first meeting is July 18 at 10:00 am @ City Blue Printing on the corner of 82nd and Pacific Avenue. Stay tuned for further information .

We held a march on July 7 to protest the prostitutes and drug dealers in our area. We had more than 20 participants.

A Great Big Thank You for all who marched with us. We also want to thank Jonathan Phillips for supporting us, the Police Dept for making sure we were safe, The News Tribune and Tacoma Weekly for covering our story.

We applied for four grants. Two grants for speed bumps and one grant for signs were awarded. The three grants awarded total $10,000: 2 speed bumps at $4500 ea and $1000 for signs. Thank South end Area Neighborhood Council (SANCo) for helping our neighborhood. The speed bumps and signs will be installed Spring 2008.
