SOSNA Newsletter

A MESSAGE FROM SOUTH OF SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
The SOSNA Safety Committee is seeking your input with regards to lighting in our neighborhood. This survey will inform the Safety Committee about lighting habits in the neighborhood and how we can work to make our streets safer and brighter!

This is the second year of our Lights On Survey to determine if there have been improvements on darker blocks through SOSNA's awareness campaign and distribution of dusk-to-dawn bulbs. You can see last year's survey results here: https://www.southofsouth.org/lights-on-survey-2017-2018/
