Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
THE LINDEN PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION (LNPA) REPRESENTS THE 55 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES IN THE LINDEN PARK NEIGHBORHOOD (JAMES, MICHAEL, CORNELIUS, AND MEMORIAL WAYS) WITHIN THE WELLINGTON-HARRINGTON DISTRICT OF CAMBRIDGE, MASS. IN ADDITION TO WORKING TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND FOSTER CIVIC ENGAGEMENT FOR LINDEN PARK RESIDENTS, THE LNPA WORKS TO ENGAGE AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE BROADER PUBLIC IN THE SURROUNDING WELLINGTON-HARRINGTON AND EAST CAMBRIDGE DISTRICTS. THE LNPA ALSO CIRCULATES A PERIODIC NEWSLETTER SUMMARIZING TOPICS OF INTEREST TO RESIDENTS, INCLUDING RECENT LNPA ACTIVITIES, CIVIC PROJECTS, AND DEVELOPMENTS IMPACTING LINDEN PARK AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
THE LNPA ADVOCATES AT BOTH THE CITY AND STATE LEVEL TO ADVANCE THE WELFARE OF LINDEN PARK RESIDENTS AS WELL AS THE BROADER SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. ONE RECENT EXAMPLE OF THIS ACTIVITY IS THE ROLE THAT THE LNPA PLAYED IN WORKING WITH CITY OFFICIALS TO PLAN THE PHYSICAL DESIGN OF THE NEARBY GRAND JUNCTION MULTI-USE PATH AND PATH ACCESS POINTS. THIS FEEDBACK HELPS THE CITY DESIGN A SAFE, ACCESSIBLE FACILITY WITH ATTRACTIVE PATH ENTRIES FROM NEARBY NEIGHBORHOODS, WHILE ADDRESSING RESIDENT CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY AND SECURITY. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS PLANNING COMMUNITY BLOCK PARTIES ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS, AND INVITING NEIGHBORS FROM THE BROADER WELLINGTON-HARRINGTON NEIGHBORHOOD BEYOND THE BORDERS OF LINDEN PARK. FINALLY, THE LNPA HAS SUCCESSFULLY WORKED WITH THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO MOVE A LATE-NIGHT LOCOMOTIVE HOLDING POINT FURTHER SOUTH, AWAY FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND INTO A COMMERCIAL AREA, GREATLY REDUCING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IMPACT THAT IDLING LOCOMOTIVE NOISE HAD ON SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. WE REGULARLY COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS, ESPECIALLY THE EAST CAMBRIDGE PLANNING TEAM, TO FIND SYNERGIES IN OUR CIVIC ACTIVITIES AND TO WORK TOGETHER WHENEVER POSSIBLE FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF ALL EASTERN CAMBRIDGE RESIDENTS.
ORGANIZE ANNUAL BLOCK PARTY HELD DURING SEPTEMBER, 2022 WITH OUTDOOR GAMES FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CHILDREN AS WELL AS FOOD AND DRINKS. THE PURPOSE OF THE BLOCK PARTY IS TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO GATHER, BUILD THEIR RELATIONSHIPS, AND DISCUSS ANY ISSUES FACING THE NEIGHBOR SO THAT POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS CAN BE BRAINSTORMED.
