ENTERING A NEW ERA OF COMMUNITY GROWTH ANC UNITY Cherry Hill Neighborhood Association Established August,2000 The Cherry Hill Neighborhood Association was formed in August 2000. The organization's primary goals are to maintain and improve neighborhood conditions while building a stronger sense of community. Our Block Watch Program was initiated February 2001 to achieve one of our primary goals, as well as enhancing the sense of security in our neighborhood. The boundaries of the Cherry Hill Neighborhood Association, as established in our by-laws, are 10th Street to the north, 8th Street to the south, Main Street to the east, and French Street to the west. Our established boundaries include eight city blocks consisting of 268 residential dwellings. Mayor Tom Galligan has personally committed the Street Department's assistance in providing labor, poles, concrete, and sign hardware to aid in the installation of the Cherry Hill Neighborhood Association Block Watch signs, which we are very grateful for. Our demographic mix contains several elderly individuals. At times these residents find themselves hesitant to involve the Police Department with suspicious persons and activities for fear of being labeled a"nosy neighbor" or for"bothering"the police. Our goals in developing the Block Watch Program include: 1. Decrease the incidence of crime 2. Increase citizen awareness 3. Train importance of citizen involvement 4. Personal identification of property 5. Build sense of community with neighborhood action programs 6. Encourage reporting of any suspicious persons or activity We hope to develop a strong involvement with the Jeffersonville Police Department so our residents will not feel intimidated to communicate openly with the police. Our first step toward this goal is the selection and placement of Neighborhood Watch Signs. The association has chosen a Neighborhood Watch sign that represents our goals, as well, welcomes visitors to our area. The manufacturers only make this particular sign in one size, 24X30. Since this sign is only available in one size we are asking permission to use it. This diagram represents our desired area for placement of the signs with a purple"x"; the red represents city signage currently in place. We want to be conscientious of sign pollution and are very concerned about visibility of the Watch signs as coming into Cherry Hill Association area. We have obtained property owners approval for the placement of each sign. Thank you in advance for your consideration of our request. • a e ��"�~ M1YY IVY UtlG21—.� 3"x 12" Bumper Ship NW106 STREET SIGNS — .063 HEAVY DL __-- WELCOME I NW111 WELCOME Three Sizes " THIS ISA NEIGHOMMUNITY TcH In This Fi NE THIS IS A IIIIELC®IUIE 1anx reside tial c and residential c NORTH PARK IS A Area A NW101 for;; NEIGHBORHOOD personalization 18"x greater street sii WATCH NW113 visibili �A -a the 12"x .„� CO NW109 We COMMUNITY . ra 24"x den for entl residential corn < �""�a�; I (non-retuma A .:.
