Do you have opinions on what is going on in our neighborhood? Concerned that a landlord/developer who is/was not even a paid member of the neighborhood association was elected the chairperson for the neighborhood group by less than 10 people? Will the neighborhood vote to support the Edgewater but make it harder for the homeless and the Occupy Madison people? Probably. Last time they spent a great deal of time complaining about the people who bike on Mifflin St. Unless you show up and express a different opinion, these folks represent our neighborhood. (Neighborhood boundary goes from Blair to Webster/Hamilton and E Washington to the lake. A very small area.)
Here’s the email about the meeting . . . .
[JamesMadisonParkNeighborhood] JMPDistrict meeting/Thursday November 17, 7:00 PM.
It’s that time and we have lots of exciting things happening downtown.
There is exciting news on the Edgewater Hotel! It will be nice to hear everyone’s thoughts on that and make a decision if we would like to make a formal position statement on that project. We can look forward to hearing more form Alder Maniaci on the status and progress.
Updates and discussion on the Occupy/Status of the Don Miller Site.
Proposal Status for the current East Washington Development proposals.
Library updates and warming shelter progress/status.
Look forward to seeing everyone this Thursday. I will have a couple of pizza’s ready and make sure the beers are cold, oh, soft drinks too!! Joe Lusson needs a “make up” appearance after failing to show for his “on request” pizza. Hope to see all of you!!

The meeting is in the (closed) restaurant area in the Capitol Fitness/Butler Plaza building at the corner of Butler and E Washington Ave (on the Blair side). It’d be great to see neighborhood residents there, let me know if you are going, I might make the effort . . . but I’d have to skip the poverty coalition meeting to do it, so its gotta be worth it if I’m going to endure Cliff Fisher and all his unpleasantness.
occupy madison folks will attend too, thanks for inviting us Brenda, we are all neighbors, aren’t we?
