Hands Across Howard |
|
Welcome, neighbors! Thank you in advance for your commitment to addressing the issues that affect the Howard Street Corridor. Hands Across Howard is a joint initiative by concerned citizens on both sides of the Howard Street corridor. To get involved: use the links at left to contact your nearest neighborhood group. Meeting times and dates will be published through the Brummel Park Neighbors (Evanston) and Network 2424 (Chicago) websites.
In November of 2007, we surveyed participants on their most immediate concerns about the neighborhood. Surveys showed a clear desire to focus our energy on improving the Howard street business district, and reducing crime.
In February of 2008 we discussed our focus on the Howard Street business district.
