Yesterday’s Frankford Civic Meeting

NEast Philly has a summary about the discussions going on about recovery houses.  Also among new business discussed was the opening of Chinese Restaurant on the northeast corner of Torresdale and Bridge and a new market on the corner of Frankford and Church.  The market seemed to be met with some approval.

Jason Dawkins from Counselwoman Sanchez’s office made a presentation about a new recycling program that’s being started.  The information is contained in this recycling flyer.  The recycling signup sheet is here.

He also discussed the recently extended ex offender program and the recently rehabilitated cleaning up on Frankford Ave.

Pocket Parks

Jason Dawkins, of Ms. Sanchez staff, spoke this month at the Frankford Civic about organizing community groups to adopt a pocket park.  John Loftus, in this weeks Northeast Times, gives the issue the full treatment.  Have a look here.  There is a meeting at the second Baptist this Monday to talk about it.
