What's happening around the world is important. What's happening in our nation is important. What's happening in Alabama is important. What's happening in Jefferson County is important. What's happening in the City of Birmingham is important. But, is anything more important to you than what is happening in your own neighborhood? The house to the left of you. The house to the right of you. I am pre-occupied with problem-solving for our residents no matter what else is happening in the world. We are piloting a new solution for Birmingham's #EastLake neighborhood. It's called 'Safe Streets' and it's about more than just rooting out violent crime, illegal dumping, and prostitution. It's also about seeding hope. And, it's about supporting residents who seek to restore pride where they reside. And, yeah, it's about reducing #gunviolence. Take a look. #puttingpeoplefirst https://lnkd.in/gG5gMdbQ
Mayor Woodfin launches pilot safety initiative to create safer streets in EastLake neighborhood

Mayor, thanks for taking initiative to protect our neighborhood. Please repair the severe pot holes on 5th Ave S (at Oporto Madrid). With 2nd through 4th blocked, that is an entrance and exit for many of us. Someone could damage their vehicle if they aren’t aware of the problem. Thanks again for looking out for us.
77th Way south from 700 to 1200 is A Historical area and the street is like a highway. PLEASE shut off our street... 77th way south.
It’s a great concept. I have always known that where I live and how many entries and exits affect safety.

1moA tactic that I’m sure will gain scrutiny from some but this is exactly how you put the people first. A very purposeful message that illustrates the intention of supporting the citizens of Birmingham by creating a solution. This is just one more small example of why Mayor Woodfin is the most impactful Mayor that the City of Birmingham will have ever seen.
