Trash cleanup day a success
Once again, the City of Boston, spearheaded by Neighborhood Services North End Liaison Maria Lanza conducted a very successful community cleanup day for the neighborhood.
Many residents armed with shovels, brooms and trash bags made their way up and down streets and in public spaces to put a dent in the horrendous trash problem that exist in the historic community.
Lanza deserves recognition for faithfully organizing this cleanup event each year.
Residents should attend Public Safety meetings
Summer is just around the corner. This means all kinds of activities and events in the North End/Waterfront will be taking place.
Swarms of people will flock to the neighborhood to participate in the many religious feasts, visit historical sites, shop in the many stores and dine at popular restaurants the neighborhood offers.
Before all this excels, community residents should find the time to attend the Boston Police Public Safety Committee meeting to get a handle on how law enforcement is planning to secure these events.
It’s actually a great opportunity to secure firsthand information, ask questions or make suggestions for this very busy time of the year.
The next Public Safety meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 7 at 6:30 P.M. at the Nazzaro Community Center, 30 North Bennet St.
Pool goers must abide by the rules
In about three weeks the Mirabella and Children’s Pools will open on June 22.
The North End has enjoyed a major size full in their backyard for years adjacent to Puopolo Park.
Pool goers need to help keep the pool clean and abide by the rules for safety reasons throughout the summer.
The pools have been a major source for residents to swim, sunbathe, meet with friends and family or even develop new friends.
North End trash problem needs more attention
Streets and sidewalk trash problems in the North End have existed forever and there seems to be no real answer to correct the problem in the historic neighborhood to date.
At times, the trash problem in the neighborhood is deplorable and could become a health problem.
With the exception of rats, everyone would like to possibly resolve the situation or at least make it better.
Resolving the trash problem will take a monumental collaborative neighborhood endeavor.
The trash problem has been tackled many times in the past but, it never really was successful.
The time has come to fully address clean streets and sidewalks in the most historic community in the state, the North End.
However, how does this get accomplished?
Part 1 crime statistics drop in the North End
District A1 Boston Police continue to keep the crime rate down in the North End/Waterfront neighborhood and should be recognized for the outstanding job they do to keep the neighborhood safe.
Statistics presented by police at a monthly Public Safety meeting clearly indicate the drop of Part 1 crimes in the neighborhood.
Police are at all North End events and at community organizations activities and events. In addition, they also host and support many neighborhood events.
A delicious Taste of the North End
A Taste of the North End that benefits many local agencies and organizations was once again the successful event it usually is.
Many local restaurants participated in the traditional neighborhood event that attracts lots of participants. As usual it was a terrific time that benefits the community.
