AnnouncementsOur Chair and Land Use Chair both receive announcements from different City, County, Metro and State agencies as well as other groups in the area. They forward notices from these groups to a general ALNA Announcement Google Group, and you can sign up to receive those notices here. Transportation Safety UpdatesAs of July 2016, we have a group of neighbors organizing for slower and safer traffic in the neighborhood. Find their google group page here, request membership, and manage emails that you can receive on just this topic!Nextdoor.comNextdoor.com is a good resource for minute to minute neighborhood updates, a place to ask questions (Whose dog/chicken/cat is this? Where is my dog/chicken cat? Why is there a coyote in the alley? What kind of plant is this? Did someone else have someone knock on their door in the middle of the night? What's that smell/noise?, etc.), and a place to find, lend or borrow items. The website is run by a different entity than the neighborhood association - we don't run or manage it - but we think it's a useful tool for information sharing and community connections.
