Message From the President

Spring is here! Spring may be off to a sputtering start, but it’s time to get out in the street and see what’s going on. Here in Upper Monroe we’re looking forward to a great Spring and Summer. In the months ahead the neighborhood looks forward to Clean Sweep, Rochester Blossoms, fund-raising, gardening and just enjoying all that Upper Monroe has to offer.

In addition, the city has commissioned a housing study which will affect you. For more information and the opportunity to have your voice heard via a survey, go to:

http://rochesterhousingstudy.com/. This is your opportunity to learn about what the city may be planning while providing your own input. I did it myself and it only takes a few minutes.

Closer to the neighborhood, more things are happening. The Upper Monroe Charrette process, which began in 2004, continues. Most recently, we received our second Neighborhood grant. This one funds an Engle Garden Upgrade which will improve both access to and the appearance of the garden at Engel Place as well as the surrounding area. There are many opportunities to get involved. Contact anyone at UMNA to get started. The neighborhood needs you!

Josh Bauroth, President
Upper Monroe Neighborhood Association (UMNA)
