Mayor takes to the streets for annual neighborhood walks
Recognizing that strong neighborhoods make for a vibrant and livable city, Mayor Tom Henry is kicking off the third consecutive year of neighborhood walks. The first of the 2010 five walks this summer is tonight in the West Central neighborhood.
“Our All-America City is truly a city of neighborhoods,” Mayor Henry said. “These walks give me the chance to meet the people I serve in their front yards, driveways and sidewalks. They allow me to hear concerns firsthand, work to solve problems quickly and gather suggestions on how City government can serve our residents better.”
Joining Mayor Henry tonight will be neighborhood leaders, members of the Mayor’s staff and representatives from City Utilities, Public Works, Community Development, the Fort Wayne Fire Department and the Fort Wayne Police Department.
The other neighborhood walks for 2010, weather permitting, are:
• July 1: Eastland Gardens
• July 22: Tower Heights
• Aug. 5: TBD in Northeast Quadrant
• Aug. 26: Sheffield Woods
The Mayor walks each of the neighborhoods from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
