The Urban Dweller is a monthly publication of Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods (CHUN), 1290 Williams; 388-2716. THE URBAN DWELLED nov so CHUN Narrows Focus By Choosing Six Priorities For Upcoming Year At last month's general membership meeting, in a display of participatory democracy that rivaled any New England town meeting, CHUN selected six priorities for the forthcoming year. The six are: . Anti-crime efforts, including street lighting; . assisting with small business economic development; . attending to issues of the chronically mentally disabled and working with the Capitol Hill Action and Recreation Group (CHARG); . scrutinizing and curtailing liquor and cabaret licenses; . promoting responsible apartment owner and renter relationships, which includes preventing rent gouging, preserving rental units and promoting responsible tenant selection; and . fund raising to help CHUN to retain and build its staff and facilities- President Marcia Hughes emphasized that the priorities are not intended to exclude other efforts but will help focus CHUN's energies and resources. "We will be building strategies to address the concerns that were chosen as priorities at the meeting. We need our membership and anyone who cares about these issues to help." "It's very exciting. There are all sorts of opportunities to be creative and constructive and make Capitol Hill a better place to live." Anyone who wants to be a neighbor helping neighbors should contact the CHUN office at 388-2716. Public Response Halts Street Light Reduction The City has agreed to suspend, for now, its reduction of street lighting in Capitol Hill. CHUN members have to share some of the credit for influencing the City's decision. Citizens speaking out were heard. The man responsible for the reduction program, James Brown, Director of Traffic Engineering (575-5781), stated the quality of the light is good, even if it is not as intense. He maintained that "there was no change, just a reduction in the level of light." Many Capitol Hill residents took a dim view of this distinction without a difference, and voiced their disillusionment. Continued on page 3-
