A popular Mesa neighborhood program, called the Building Strong Neighborhoods Initiative, is focusing this month on the area encompassed by Broadway Road, Pueblo Avenue, Longmore and Sycamore. An orientation meeting is being held Tuesday at Adams Elementary School, 738 S. Longmore, at 6:30 p.m.
Mayor Scott Smith and Councilmember Dennis Kavanaugh will attend the meeting.
Through the four-week program, city officials will use the results of a survey to tackle items of most concern to residents. Public safety, traffic and beautification issues will be addressed by action teams, mainly comprising residents.
City staff from the public safety as well as transportation and code compliance departments will be on hand to provide information about city services. Fiesta mall representatives also will have information on the redevelopment of the shopping center, according to a city news release.
Similar initiatives will be undertaken in the other council districts not yet covered, which includes District 1, 5 and 6.
