activismintheloin: North of Market/Tenderloin Community Benefit District

Posted on February 16, 2008 by livinintheloin

I have been corresponding with Elaine Zamora, at TNT. She has provided some information on efforts to improve our neighborhood:

There are several efforts going on in the neighborhood right now. The CBD along with TNT-The New Tenderloin is looking at the issue of a Full Service Post Office, and as a result of the Hearing at City Hall we, the community, will be having a meeting with the Postal Service officials, Congresswoman Pelosi’s office, Supervisor Daly and the Mayor’s office to discuss the matter. We are looking the start of a Stay Away Order Project where members of the community can write letters to the Judges regarding particular criminal offenders asking that the Judge impose a “Stay Away Order” that would give the police more enforcement power should that offender return to the neighborhood. There is a “Good Neighbor” policies effort underway to try to address the congregation of chronic misbehaving people around food lines, clinics, liquor stores, etc. We are conducting a survey around that issue regarding free food services in the neighborhood.

The City Officials have asked us to convene a neighborhood meeting to discuss this issue but we want it to be a neighborhood discussion so we are conducting the survey to gather community input. We, the CBD and TNT, The New Tenderloin, a collaborative group that formed around safety issues are working around the issue of the implementation of the Community Justice Center so that it is developed with community input.

Hi,

Stumbled on your TL blog via the SFist.

I’ve been on the board of the NOM/TLCBC for about a year now, so we may have met. Since you live in the TL, you might find my work of interest. If you have time, check out Up from the Deep: The Hotel Project.

Cheers!
