Men At Work – June 4

They’ve started tearing up our street:

At first glance you wouldn’t think there is anything wrong with our street, no potholes or such, but this is what I was told:

We’re prepping for a keep-seal program. What we’re doing is taking out the bad stuff, putting in the good stuff. And then over the summer, or in about a month or so … it’s a two part process. The first part is the gravel and oil. Oil and rock will go down as the first sealer, and in about a month after that we’re going to put a black scooter seal on top of it. The oil is thick enough and has polymers and things like that to seal the cracks. That will seal the street to save it for another twenty years.

Neighborhood Watch Workshop – May 2010

Pierluigi Oliverio said, “In the short term you have to fend for yourselves, organize your block, work with your neighbors, and manage that.”

Officer Rey Cedeno added, “Besides the WGNA eList, consider starting up your own Yahoo! Group, where you can set up your own perimeters. That’s an excellent way to communicate.”

Also, Lincoln Glen Neighborhood Association has links to good information from some of America’s more-established neighborhood watch groups.
