York Road Neighbors,
A number of you were at York Road Partnership's October General Meeting where we heard from Phyllis Gilmore and the rest of the York Road Improvement District's (YRID's) new Street Outreach Team, which at that point was just starting their work. This is an exciting new effort, funded by a grant to YRID from the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention, to address proactively the needs of people on the street on York Road.
In order to guide their outreach, this team has put together a
Community Survey that they are asking the people they speak with to respond to (inputting the answers on their tablets), but they would love broader input in the survey, too.
The YRID Street Outreach Team will come back at our January 7, 2026 General Meeting to report on the results.
Also, please mark your calendar for York Road Partnership's Annual Holiday Potluck coming up at the YRP December 3, 7:15 pm meeting! We'll be at Govans Presbyterian Church for just this one meeting and meal. Join us for some holiday cheer as we mark the closing of 2025 and look forward to 2026!
Dan Pontious
President
