Message from Councilmember
Steven Neal
Hello
neighbors,
Welcome to another issue of Inside District 9. I'm very excited to
let you know about an exciting new development in our campaign to
"Build a Better Ninth District." We are in the process of setting
up an all-new Community Outreach Website for the communities of the
9th District. This tool will enable us to have a system in place so
that we may continue to be effective in our Phase I program of our
Building a Better 9th District - "Imagination Infrastructure and
Involvement". We will have more exciting updates on this project in
the weeks to come.
Secondly, as I mentioned in last week's newsletter, we are rolling
out the 9th District Sidewalks, Trees, Alleys and Roads Task Force
(STAR). The first meeting of the STAR Task Force will take place on
Monday, October 18, at 6PM at our field office at Houghton Park.
This is a great opportunity to work together with community members
toward building safer and cleaner infrastructure.
Please click below to watch my video to the 9th District as I speak
about some of the latest news coming from the 9th District
Office.

Sincerely,
Steven Neal

Safety Tips
Halloween is right around the corner and this time of the year can
be fun for children and adults. Although this is an exciting
holiday, and we encourage the 9th District to practice safety
measures to ensure an exciting night!

children should be accompanied by an adult

visit homes that are well lighted and never go into a stranger's
house

on the sidewalk and only cross at corners
- Stay
in well populated areas and never cut through alleys or parks
- Apply
reflective tape to your child's costume or use glow sticks for
better visibility
- Use
face paint rather than masks that may block your child's
vision

out your route ahead of time and carry a flash light with you
- Ensure
tips of any props (pitch fork, sword, etc.) your child is carrying
are smooth

cautious of animals
