The Midtown Neighborhood Association (MNA) has a mission to nurture Sacramento’s livable, vibrant, and evolving Midtown community through respectful collaboration among all classes, identities, and cultures. But via what means should the MNA carry out its mission? At the Wednesday, February 13, 2019 MNA meeting, we asked community members to describe what they think should be MNA’s focus and role in the community. Responses spanned from ideas about community development to bicycle and pedestrian safety, to advocacy and local policy work. Below is a summary of the responses:
 
Community Service
  • Community clean up
  • Organizing community service opportunities
  • Community service
  • Help the bark park
Social Events
  • BYO BBQ
  • Shenanigans bike party
  • More hosted social events to engage young professionals/recent transplants
  • Host social events
Advocacy/Legislation
  • Facilitate conversations regarding city projects to interim MNA advocacy efforts
  • Resident parking vs. event parking
  • Advocate for more transit oriented development
  • Advocate for general funds for street lights
  • Advocate for affordable housing
  • Advocate for more urban infill residential buildings and accessory dwelling units
  • Advocate for airport public transit
  • Increase awareness to pedestrian crosswalks
Other
  • More bike racks
  • City project education from reps
  • Host “topic nights" where experts and city depts come to speak, facilitate convos around one topic
  • Participate in quarterly joint neighborhood association meetings
  • Build more protected bike lanes
  • Invest in crosswalks with lighting
  • Improve funding for streetlights and parks
  • Get Portland loos (a type of self-washing bathroom) at RT light rail stations
  • Install more bus stops on J street
  • Improve crosswalk paint on 20th and P and 20th and Q (west side is not painted and unsafe)
  • Include a City council update in newsletter
