Neighborhood Survey

Dear Collister residents,
Your volunteer Collister Neighborhood Association is working hard to serve the community. This year that included:

1. Holding regular quarterly meetings – the next one is Thursday, Nov 7 (see details above);
2. Expanding food choices and kids’ activities for our annual picnic;
3. Securing grants for a neighborhood sidewalk extension, a history research study and new branding for our signs (all in progress);
4. Conducting a neighborhood evaluation tour on Collister Drive to submit to ACHD as recommendations for improvement;
5. Developing a brand new website with targeted email lists to keep residents informed on planning and zoning, development concerns, and committees (see email prefernce below);
6. Conducting a survey of our residents concerning the Eyrie Terrace development proposal and opposing their plan to shave off the tops of the foothills to build large homes on property adjacent to the Harrison to Hollow Reserve;
7. Hosting a citywide Neighborhood Association leaders meeting to determine what issues can best be addressed by all associations working together; and
8. Representing the neighborhood’s interests at City Hall, Ada County Commission, ACHD and more.

While we’re excited about our progress, we know that there are always ways we can enhance our efforts. Please give us your feedback on the neighborhood survey that is open now for the month of November. It will help us refine and expand our efforts for 2020 and help ensure that we are representing our broader community’s needs and interests. As always, we welcome your participation and look forward to seeing you Thursday, November 7th at 7 pm at the Library at Collister.  We’ll serve refreshments and discuss our neighborhood improvement grant ideas in depth there.

Thank you for your help!
Your Collister Neighborhood Association
