Neighbors Working Together for a Safer and More Beautiful Block!
at Grace & St. Paul's Church at 4pm
123 West 71st Street
Our next meeting will be announced shortly. Come meet your neighbors and share and your concerns for our block!
Join us for refreshments,
Block Association T-shirts,
literature, and more.
The West 71st St Block Association covers the blocks between Central Park West and Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
West 71st Street is a great place to live and we are working together to make it even better!
Current issues we are looking into are: Stopping the proposed e-bike charging station for the bow-tie intersection (sign petition below!), beautifying the tree wells, rats, trash/litter on the sidewalks, scaffolding, nighttime noise and illegal behavior, working with the 20th Precinct and outreach groups to help the homeless, and replacing the newspaper bins with newer and fewer ones.
We work on the above issues by collaborating with local legislators, city agencies, police, both churches on the block, local businesses, outreach to the homeless, Sanitation and Health Departments, landlords, neighbors.
How to help:
1. Tell your neighbors about our block association and have them e-mail us to add them to our list.
2. Call 311 or e-mail 311 at http://www.nyc.gov/apps/311/about.htm to report block issues. Or call the 20th police precinct at 212.580.6411.
