Join us at our upcoming neighborhood meeting on Sunday, Oct 29th at 11am at the Community Room at TCAction (701 Spencer Rd.). To get to the meeting room, you will need to go in the back entrance. Go up the driveway on the right before you reach the main building. There is parking in the rear if you will be driving. The entrance is on the parking lot side.

We will be joined by our two common council members, George McGonigal and Cynthia Brock, as well as a representative from the IPD. This is a chance to meet our neighbors, to share our concerns, to learn about more traffic and public safety issues, and to plan any future activities.

Coffee and some light refreshments will be available. However, because we only have the use of the community room, there will not be any childcare.

We look forward to seeing our neighbors there!

Community Conversation on Recent Gun Activity

Emily N.Leave a comment

There have been some recent gun-related incidents on Spencer Road, including two instances of a gun found along the road, and three reports in the last few months of gunshots being fired. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported in any of these instances.

In response to concerns about the increasing frequency of gun-related activity, the Spencer Road Neighborhood Association will be holding an online neighborhood meeting on Zoom at 7:00pm on Thursday, May 6th. We have invited our neighborhood’s common council representatives, a representative from the Ithaca Police Department, and other members of the community to join the conversation to discuss our concerns and share strategies about how we can move forward as a neighborhood community, including precautions we can take to reduce these incidents and ensure the safety of our neighbors.

We hope you will join us in this conversation. Please register for the meeting. When you register, you will receive an email with instructions on how to join the Zoom session on the 6th, either online or by phone. If you have questions about how to join, please email us at SpencerRoadIthaca@gmail.com.
