Hi, neighbors…
As mentioned earlier, I’d like to gather a vote from Walhalla Ravine Association members on the lot-integrity resolution ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KKCkK8mHMIRQNvE-xnUUGQzwTzmsW13j/view?usp=share_link )
This message is not a call for votes. It’s to propose the voting process, so there’s time for questions or suggestions before the actual vote.
Proposed voting process:
• Voting conducted by email
• Voting open until Thursday, Jan. 8 at 1 a.m. (to allow time to tabulate and share results before the CAC meeting later that day)
• Vote options are Yes / No / Abstain
• One vote per WRA household
• Votes include voter’s full name and address so eligibility can be confirmed
(A WRA household is any residence with a Walhalla or Brynhild address (or frontage) between Indianola and High Street, plus three Morningside properties).
Results:
• Results shared with the mailing list as aggregate totals (Yes / No / Abstain and participation count)
• Individual names/addresses/votes would not be posted to the mailing list
• A complete vote record would be maintained and available for inspection upon request
I’m aiming to keep this simple and inclusive, while finishing in time for the upcoming CAC meeting.
If you have concerns or suggested changes to the process, please let me know (or reply here). I plan to open the vote over the weekend.
Thanks,--

Thanks, Jeff—
I won’t be a voting member on this issue, as I now live on Lakeview. That said, I grew up on Walhalla and was recently elected as the District 3 Commissioner for the Clintonville Area Commission (CAC) which includes Walhalla.
I don’t intend to take a position in this thread. I do, however, want to emphasize that—regardless of the ultimate decision of the Walhalla Ravine Association—I am a strong proponent of neighbors organizing through associations to advocate for their street and for the broader community interests tied to those streets, homes, businesses, and public spaces.
Whatever position the Walhalla Ravine Association ultimately takes would be helpful for me to understand in my role as your newly elected area commissioner. My broader philosophy is to strengthen neighborhood-level civic engagement by listening to and elevating the voices of organized constituents.
If you all do take a position one way or the other, please let me know so I can communicate that perspective to the full CAC and help serve as your advocate.
Best,
Will
