Polish Triangle - a group of local neighborhood association presidents, chamber of commerce, SSA#33 and local school reps are talking about improvements to the Polish Triangle that would include plantings, railing around the fountain, continued Markets during the summer of 2012, more cultural events, volunteers to help clean up and de-pigeoning the triangle. We really need your help! Please don't feed the pigeons, one of the main causes of the filth at the triangle is from the pigeon guano and bread and table scraps left for them. If you have a neighbor, who goes to the triangle to feed the pigeons regularly, please ask them to stop.

The next CAPs meeting won't occur until the end of January, 2012. Stay alert - look for suspicious persons, who might be walking near the curbs or checking car doors up and down the street. Call the police if you suspect a crime is in progress. Report any incident, even if it is under what your insurance deductible is. If the police are not aware of ALL the incidents there may not be as much attention placed on the neighborhood. We are also considering requesting a Blue Light Camera be placed somewhere in the beat. If you have strong feelings either for or against a Blue light camera, please contact PPNA via email.
