Prospect Park is one of our community's greatest treasures, with its unparalleled view of our city. But over the years, we've watched pavement degrade, benches rot, and brambles creep in. So the College Hill Neighborhood Association is in the planning process to restore the park. To kick off our campaign, we're having a family friendly launch party at the park this Wednesday at 6:00pm. Come to support the park--and meet your neighbors!

PLOWING, POTHOLES AND PARKING  

What we've learned from the Winter of 2015. Please join the College Hill Neighborhood Association for a public meeting about snow removal, city parking bans, and pothole repair on Wednesday, April 22 from 6:30-8:00 pm in the auditorium at Wheeler School’s beautiful new Gilder Center for the Arts building featuring Q&A with several city leaders to include Mayor Jorge Elorza, COO Brett Smiley, Chief City Engineer William Bombard and Councilman Sam Zurier to name a few.

Community Meeting on Crime Watch Programs TONIGHT
The goal of the meeting is to learn more about how crime watch programs can work. 
Wednesday, May 21 
6:00 - 8:00 p.m. 
Nathan Bishop Middle School. 
There will have a panel discussion with Lieutenant Ryan and Captain Stamatakos of the Providence Police Department, as well as Monica Anderson (Community Liaison at Miriam Hospital) and Jay Tavares (West Broadway Neighborhood Association Board Member and Chair of the Neighborhood Action Crime Watch).  Monica and Jay will be speaking on the establishment of crime watches programs and how they are maintained.
 
Once the presenters have introduced the program to the community, those in attendants will have an opportunity to ask questions of the panel about neighborhood crime watches and the more general issue about how residents and the police can work together to reduce crime.
