NNA Meeting Report July 15, 2019

Dear Neighborhood Leaders,

The Northeast Neighborhood Alliance meeting on Monday night was one of our best. I’m sure Mayor Ron Nirenberg and former Mayor and Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros were really impressed with the huge attendance and enthusiasm of our Alliance members. Both of them gave excellent briefings which provided us a good opportunity to focus on what we can expect for San Antonio’s future. The projected growth statistics and traffic maps certainly tell us that Federal, State, County and City leaders and our residents must do everything possible to mitigate future problems occurring from the sky-rocketing growth we are experiencing.

Everyone in attendance was asked to fill out the “Connect SA” survey to provide input in this important planning process. If you missed the meeting, you can find the survey at WWW.CONNECTSA.COM. Please let your voice be heard!

A big thank you goes to the representatives from VIA, TXDOT, the City’s Transportation and Capital Improvements Dept., and the Metropolitan Planning Organization for their participation in this meeting.

We also need to recognize Shannon Perez from Connect SA and National Night Out representative Linda Tomasini for their briefings and support for this meeting. You can register your neighborhood for National Night Out at WWW.SANANTONIO.GOV/SAPD/NNO.

Councilman Clayton Perry introduced his new Staff member Jarvis Soileau who will be working on community engagement issues. The Councilman also reminded us that he has a list of topics he wants to share with us at the next District 10 Neighborhood Leaders meeting on Monday, August 19th, 7 p.m. at the Northeast Service Center (10303 Tool Yard). Let’s all mark it on our busy calendars.

Special note: As you may have heard, our friends from the Eden Homeowners Association are collecting funds to help restore their wonderful duck pond at their entrance on Thousand Oaks. Please contact Eden’s President Myrtle Parks (210 857-3476) for more information and to provide a donation for this highly necessary environmental improvement project.

Thank you very much for your active participation in the Alliance and for your leadership in our neighborhoods.

Mike Gallagher, President

SAN ANTONIO RECYCLING CENTER:

Do you have an old computer, TV, or perhaps those foam packaging peanuts you would like to get rid of, but they don't go in your blue recycling can? Well now there is a place to recycle these items and others including prescription bottles and metals. In a 98,000 sq ft warehouse of I-35 near Splashtown,

Logistix has opened a one stop recycling center, where you'll be able to drop off things the city won't take at the curb.

Their paper shredders actually grind the paper instead of slicing it into strips. This is more secure and they then turn it into tissue paper. Logistix accepts the electronics, recyclables and paper for shredding from the public free of charge, and in some cases pay for it.

They will have a drop off area for the public to come and drop off their items. The Logistix Recycling center opened in November. You can find it at 1949 Hormel Drive. If you have any questions, call them at 210.732.5246 or check www.logistixrecyclinghq.com.

HELP WITH RECYCLING - Remember to "Bag in Brown, Recycle in Blue, It's Easy to do."

Avoid placing diapers and other garbage in the blue recycle container. Fines are being assessed thru random curb checks.
Yes to plastic bottles, but not the bottle caps,
Yes to paper drink cups and plastic lids, but not plastic straws,
Yes to paper and cardboard but not packing material, popcorn or peanuts used for packing,
Yes to newspapers, but not waxed paper or wax coated packaging, wax covered drink cups or snack chip bags.,
Yes to steel and aluminum cans but not steel coat hangers, batteries, electronic gadgets or paint in cans.
Yes to glass bottles and jars, but not to plastic shopping bags from grocery stores (return bags to store).
Yes to milk cartons.

Our Website History

This web site started as a means for opposing the SA Airport's FAR 150 update proposal that suggested that heavy air traffic be re-directed 15 degrees to fly "over the Cement Plant".     The only problem with that solution is that WE are on the Other side of that Cement Plant. Although the FAA rejected that plan in 2001, in March of 2004 the Northern Hills Homeowner's Association has learned that the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) proposed the Airport still include the 15 degree turn. In February of 2005, we were notified that were successful getting the 15 degree turn removed from the EIS.
