MAKING SHELBY PARK EVEN BETTER

 

One-way Conversions: A Top Priority


SPNA supports two-way conversions of our main streets running through Shelby Park. We are confident this change will calm traffic, making our neighborhood safer and more pleasant for residents, pedestrians and bicyclists.

This is a top priority and we need your help to make this happen! Here's what you can do:

  • Talk with your neighbors - explain why conversions will be great for the neighborhood

  • Come to our Monthly Meetings - 2nd Thursday of each month at 6pm

  • Call your state and local elected representatives

  • Follow @Streets4Peeps

  • Learn about Redlining and how it affects Shelby Park to this day

  • Send a letter to your state & local representatives. Here’s an example you can use.
