I was serving as the area representative to the Forest Park Civic Association before I had even moved into my house. One of the people I had contacted in the area to ask some questions when I was buying my house told me about the opportunity to be the area representative and I decided to do it.

Those who came to the meeting were really excited about getting these block watches up and running again. We're starting to see more vandalism and burglary in the area, and a well-run block watch program can deter a lot of that kind of activity.

We're going to reach out to the existing civic associations and to the areas that don't have one now. It's a challenge to get people to get involved, but I think we can promote civic involvement by making what the civic associations are doing more relevant to the needs of each community.

They want emergency responders to be able to access the pipeline in a hurry if necessary without having to tear down a shed or a tree or something.

The Morse Road SID was a bit different because the business community there was very involved. We can do the same thing along 161, but it's a way down the road.
