Hi Neighbors,
I hope that everyone is healthy and well!
Our next VNA meeting is this Wednesday April 22 at 7pm via Zoom. I hope neighbors who are interested can join us virtually as we discuss Vilas Neighborhood news. Tentative agenda to be posted here.
One of the items on our agenda is a discussion of the Edgewood High School Conditional Use Permit Application for lights at the athletic field. In order for the council to make an informed decision on how to best represent the neighborhood, the Edgewood Liaisons put out a survey which was approved by the council . This survey of the neighborhood concluded last week and the Edgewood liaison team has been pouring over the results. Please remember that this was not a scientific survey but rather a way to gather more neighborhood input. Survey results to be posted in the News and Events section. I encourage those who are interested to take a look at these and read the comments from neighbors (reported anonymously). The survey tells a nuanced story and I hope that you all approach this with an open mind and thoughtfully look at the data and the comments. We will be going over this at the meeting and the council will voting on (1) whether we should take a position, and (2) if we take a position, what that position should be.
I will be welcoming discussion from neighbors but since this is a virtual meeting with many participants, I am going to ask that you type in your questions and comments in Zoom during the meeting. You will also have the opportunity to raise hands to be called on. No matter how you comment please be respectful and as concise as possible. I recognize that this is a controversial issue and there are many diverse views. Neighbor engagement in issues such as these are one of the things that living in Vilas so great!
