Our Community-Police meetings give our residents an excellent opportunity to meet our police officers who work very hard to make our neighborhood a safer place to live for everyone. The meeting is open to all residents of College Park. Please bring your public safety/crime-related questions directly to these officers. Details below. Hope to see many of you this Thursday at 7 pm at the MoM’s Cafe. Thank you.
This week, about 150 residents engaged in several focus group community meetings to share their thoughts about the recreational needs in the City. There were 4 focus group meetings for senior residents and 3 for residents of all ages. The City secured a consulting group, called Greenplay LLC., to run these community meetings.
The final Public Forum happened last night at the Youth and Family Services building on Nantucket Road. About 25 residents of all ages attended the meeting (photo below). The consultants presented the findings from the focus group meetings and took further inputs from the residents.
The consultant will now compile all inputs from the stakeholders and the focus group members. This should be available on City’s website in a few days, most likely after the Labor Day Holiday. The consultant will also conduct a statistically significant survey among the community at large. They will randomly select about 3500 City residents for this survey. After that, they will publish the survey on City’s website, so that additional residents can take the survey.
Thanks, everyone who attended these community meetings and gave some very important feedback!

Due to the start of the new City Hall project, City Council meetings will be held in Davis Hall beginning September 3.
City staff and a contractor are relocating audio-visual equipment from City Hall to Davis Hall and therefore the scheduled re-broadcast of Council meetings will not be possible between August 16 and September 3. The slides on the cable channels will continue to be broadcast.
